The time setting on the Windows server must be correct for Cisco TMS to function correctly, and the date
and time on the Cisco TMS and SQL Server must be identical, if the servers are separate.
We therefore strongly recommend keeping both servers in the same Active Directory domain and setting
them up to use the same NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.
