I added this post here and two other forums but have not had a single reply. I am totally lost and need to fix this, so even if you cannot answer the question, can you tell me either

 

- where I can look for more information or

- how I could better ask the question

When I copy files to our server, the modified date goes back by 8 years (to 2006)

 

Examples:

 

File copied from local PC, starts with modified date: 2 June 2014 12:13 changes to 2 June 2006 01:23

File copied from local PC, starts with modified date: 24 May 2014 21:35 changes to 24 May 2006 02:16

File copied from local PC, starts with modified date: 3 Feb 2014 08:37 changes to 2 Feb 2006 22:48

 

-always 2922 day

 

It does not always happen, probably about 5%-10% of the files. It happens to Excel, Powerpoint, .txt and other files. The created date also goes back 8 years.

 

Any ideas how this is happening?

 

I am running windows 7 Pro service pack 1

What server OS are you using? I'd suggest posting in a server forum. If you use Windows Server then Google returns quite a few hits:

Also,

When copying a folder or files from one location to another location or to a different media, is it possible that the copied folder/files retain its original date modified rather than showing the date when it was copied. Having the original date on the file and folder help when doing audit tracking.

Maybe help Here and Here
