Machine is part of domain. We are testing a application with an old license
key.

We attempt to change the time backwards, but it revert back to today's time.

Windows 2003 can do that, why not 2008 ?
 
Re: Changing time in windows 2008

Hello IT,

On a computer that is member of the domain the time relies on the DC which
has the PDCEmulator role, all DC's sync with that one and all member servers
and workstations will sync with one available DC, because the complete domain
time does not go out of sync over 5 minutes. Otherwise domain internal you
will get problems. So if you really need to change the time you have to do
it on the PDCEmulator or disconnect the server from the domain.

Best regards
