Set hardware clock from ntp before installing windows

When installing Windows 7 on a new computer, joining the domain does not work when the date/time is wrong. Setup.py could set the time using ntpdate and hwclock, but both are missing from the boot image. The time zone (windows expects the local time in the bios, not utc) is already in the product properties. The NTP server could be a new product property (with e.g. pool.ntp.org as the default ntp server).

Of course, a simple workaround is to set the date and time manually in the bios, but this is time consuming and could be automated easily.

Hello,

we recommend using the localboot-product windomain to join a client after installation of packages.
The package can be found in the contribute section: http://download.uib.de/opsi4.0/products ... 1.0-6.opsi


With kind regards

Niko
