Time on server out of sync


Recommended Posts

On one of my servers (W2K3) in my domain, I am recieving errors in the

event log approximately every 30 to 60 minutes with an Event ID of 29

stating:

 

The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or

more time sources, however none of the sources are currently

accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes.

NtpClient has no source of accurate time.

 

From my PC I ran a w32tm/Monitor command and the results were good. My

domain controllers are in sync with each other for time.

 

I ran a w32tm/resync on my PC (for a test) and it worked (it said the

command completed successfully).

 

I ran the w32tm/resync command on the server in question and recieved

the message "The computer did not resync because no time data was

available"

 

The server is only two minutes off, but I'm thinking this is a possible

cause to an app I have that keeps failing on that server.

 

My troubleshooting as of right now tells me the problem is with the

server.

 

I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

RE: Time on server out of sync

 

I had this same problem with one server. Out of all the servers we manage,

it's only happened on that one. I researched the issue and 'fixed' it by

explicitly telling the server to use a certain time server. The problem went

away, so far.

How did you explicitly tell it what server to look at?

I need it to look at one of the domain controllers.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Re: Time on server out of sync

 

On any server or workstation, if you edit the registry:

 

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters

set Key 'Type' to NT5DS

 

Then restart the W32Time service, it should now sync with the PDC emulator,

maybe via its authenticating server.

 

This should be the default setting for any member server. Why is yours

different?
