Guest kickballmvp2006 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 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. -- kickballmvp2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kickballmvp2006's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=29383 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=800769 http://forums.techarena.in
Guest drkc Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 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.

Guest kickballmvp2006 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: Time on server out of sync 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. -- kickballmvp2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kickballmvp2006's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=29383 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=800769 http://forums.techarena.in

Guest Newell White Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 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? -- Newell White "kickballmvp2006" wrote: > > How would I go about manually doing that? > > > -- > kickballmvp2006 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > kickballmvp2006's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=29383 > View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=800769 > > http://forums.techarena.in > >
