Server 2003 Time Server - NTP address keep reverting.

[Guest Keloid]

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

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.
