Change current date/time on SQL server machine

    Hi all,

    One customer changed windows date/time while SQL server was running and some applications were connected to it (and uses the GetDate function), then the whole system hanged. (Don't whether one process was using 100% CPU or whether the system was no longer responding because it happened on customer's site).

    Is this unrecommended to change date/time under those conditions ?

    Has anyone experienced something similar ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Patrick

    If you observe daylight savings time then that is basically the same action the system takes on behalf of itself. I have not seen any issues specifically like this unless there is something in your design such as running jobs that could have been triggered to run at an unexpected point.
