Time Synch Problem

[Guest partykdj]

I followed the directions to set up the time synch on my PDC (windows

2003 server xp2). When I came in the morning two of my servers had the

following warning messages

 

Source: W32time

| Event ID: 50

| Description:

| The time service detected a time difference of greater than 5000

| milliseconds for 900 seconds. The time difference might be caused

by

| synchronization with low-accuracy time sources or by suboptimal

network

| conditions. The time service is no longer synchronized and cannot

provide

| the time to other clients or update the system clock. When a valid

time

| stamp is received from a time service provider, the time service

will

| correct itself.

 

 

I did a little more research and discovered there is a hot fix

supplied by microsoft that you have to request (which I did but have

not received yet). My question is does anyone know do I apply that

hotfix to my time sync server or do I install it on the servers I am

receiving the warings on?

Re: Time Synch Problem

 

Hello partykdj,

 

If you talk about this article, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830092/de

,in the part Server 2003 "hotfix replacement information" under IMPORTANT

you have your question answered in detail:

 

Important Microsoft recommends that you install this hotfix on all Windows

Server 2003 domain controllers. Start by installing this hotfix on the primary

domain controller that is the operations master in the root directory of

the forest. If you experience this problem only on member servers, install

the hotfix on domain controllers first and then install the hotfix on the

member servers.

 

Best regards
