Synchronize Server Time

This forces the terminal to retrieve and set the current date/time from the server. This is recommended on terminals running Windows 95/98/ME to ensure that the correct time is maintained. This option may have no effect on terminals running Windows NT 40/2000/XP/2003 depending upon the user's windows access rights. This option should be turned off on the computer acting as the server.
