YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE TOOLS

Most if not all modern PCs have two internal clocks: the System Clock and the RTC or Real Time Clock. The Systems Clock and the RTC are independent time pieces. One or both can fail to process year 2000 dates correctly.

When you turn on your PC, the Operating System software (the software that runs your keyboard and your disk drives) reads the RTC and sets the System Clock’s date and time. The RTC is read only when you power on your PC and won’t be read again until you turn your PC off and then on again.

Usually the System Clock handles the year 2000 correctly though some older computers running older versions of DOS will not handle year 2000 dates correctly. Most RTC also handle the year 2000 dates correctly. Many PCs fail at reading the RTC and then setting the System Clock.

So your computer is still alive and well 
Your computers may have passed the Year 2000 with flying colors but there may still be problems.  NetKeeper Year 2000 Automated Test is a valuable diagnostic tool for hardware that will determine the extent of the problem for you so that you make decisions now to update or replace equipment.

The NetKeeper Year 2000 Automated Test program will check:

  • The setting of the System Clock by the Real Time Clock.
  • Leap year recognition - The Year 2000 is a leap year! The PC clocks may also fail to recognize that the year 2000 is a leap year but 2001 is not. NetKeeper Year 2000 Automated Test also tests this condition.
  • That files are saved with the correct date when dated beyond December 31, 1999
  • The roll over to 2001. 

The NetKeeper Year 2000 Automated program is also included in NetKeeper Express LAN Inventory program. NetKeeper Express documents the software that is Year 2000 compatible and automatically inventories all hardware, software and configuration files. The data is also accessible in NetKeeper Help Desk Pro and NetKeeper Help Desk Captain.
