Guest Keloid Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I have 2003 DC setup as a GC, DNS and FSMO holder. It running the time service for the domain. The old NTP server was Firewall appliance and that function has been moved, so the time service is loggings errors because it can't sync. I've gone in to the registry and changed the NTP address to the IP of MS time server 207.46.x.x. Anyway, each morning I come back to work and the IP address has reverted to the original address. I'm at my wits end. I read numerous docs on this process and gone through the steps several times but the IP keeps changing. There are no GP settings that I could find that could be resetting this address. I really need help here or I'm in big trouble.

Hello Keloid, On the PDCEmulator run: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com) or an ip address from a reliable time source. Here you can find some of them: http://www.pool.ntp.org/ 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 > I have 2003 DC setup as a GC, DNS and FSMO holder.

Guest Keloid Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Server 2003 Time Server - NTP address keep reverting. I'm positive I ran that command once already, but I did run this morning and I'll know tomorrow. Thank you for the input.
