ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and apparatus are provided for interpreting time data received from a server computer management device. According to the method, the local time at a remote computer may be received and converted to GMT. Once the local time has been converted to GMT, a command may be issued to the remote management device instructing the device to set its real time clock to GMT. The remote management device then maintains its time with reference to GMT. When data is received from the server management device, a determination is made as to whether the received data includes time data. If time data is identified, the time data is converted from GMT to a local time where the remote computer is located. The time data is then replaced with the converted time data in the received data. The received data, including the converted time, may then be displayed at the remote computer.
