System time is not in sync with Domino time

A funny thing happened to our servers on multiple occasions. Server system time was not equal to Domino server time. Some times they were even as much as 5 minutes apart.
After contacting IBM support and filling that standard questionnaire, they provided us with a link to knowledge-base article containing a solution.
To summarize an article…
1) If you are running 8.0.2, install fix-pack 1 immediately. This will solve the issue.
2) If you are running inferior versions, you can use SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL ini file parameter. Values are:
- SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL = 1 – every 5min (default)
- SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL = 2 – every 1min
- SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL = 3 – every 60min
- SERVER_DISABLE_TIMESYNC = 1 – disable polling
Remember to restart the server after applying this setting.

For those that want to set it via the Domino Console, it is nice to have a sync command:
set systemtime
synchronizes the OS time to Domino. Domino answers with something like:
Domino time reset to the system time. 06/29/2009 15:23:19
Thanks for sharing this info with us.

I think the command is workable if the system time ahead on domino time. otherwise it will shows this error ‘domino time not reset to system’. Is there any command to sync domino time with system time whereby domino time is ahead of system time
