Hello all,
When I am trying to open the SharePoint Server Search application content sources getting the following error:
Sorry, something went wrong
The security timestamp is invalid because its creation time ('2020-12-04T16:01:09.135Z') is in the future. Current time is '2020-12-04T15:55:59.139Z' and allowed clock skew is '00:05:00'.

Is anyone can help me please ?

Thank you.
Sincerely

Farook Golam

    This means your SharePoint servers are not properly synchronizing time between them and a Domain Controller (external time source -> AD DC (PDC Emulator role) -> all other DCs -> client systems).

    You should have your Active Directory admins take a look at the time synchronization issues.

    Hi @Farook Golam

    Please refer to Trevorseward's reply to have a check, I think it could be helpful.

    Make sure that all servers in your SharePoint farm have the same system time and time zone settings.

    If you have any updates, please feel free to let us know.
