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.
