Guest jedrek Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Hello, I am trying to synchronize the time on a bunch of client workstations and servers to their appropriate Domain Controllers. Eventually the Primary domain controller will be synchronized to an external time source. I have the following information, but I am not sure if it is correct: Open up registry and drill down to the following: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32TIME\Parameters original: type = NT5DS, NTPServer = time.windows.com,0x1 new: Type=AllSync,NtpServer=MCSDC1,0x1,MCSDC2,0x1 Is the syntax for the above line correct or should there be spaces instead of commas? Is there anything else that I need to do in order to setup the time synchronization? Thanks for your help.
Guest jedrek Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 RE: Windows 2003 R2 and Windows XP Pro Time Synchronization I found an easier method to synchronize the machines and servers by using the following command: net time /setsntp:/<servername> Alot easier and much safer then having to edit the registry and running into the possibility of making a costly mistake then having to reload the systems. Cheers!

Here you can find some of them: http://www.pool.ntp.org/ Client configuration: To configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update After that run: net stop w32time net start w32time Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > Hello, > > I am trying to synchronize the time on a bunch of client workstations > and servers to their appropriate Domain Controllers.
