Guest The poet Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Hi all, I've 2 machines with Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition R2 (Engliah version) SP2, up and running from few days, one is a DC (and hold the PDC Emulator role), the other is a Exchange Server (Exchange Server 2003 SP1). In both machines I see this warning in the event log: Source: W32Time Category: None Type: Warning 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've found the following KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830092 Wich says to get the latest service pack or to obtain an hotfix, the hotfix (i.e. the w32time.dll file) has this version: Windows Server 2003, x86-based versions Date Time Version Size File name ------------------------------------------------------ 31-Jan-2004 02:15 5.2.3790.125 221,696 W32time.dll but my system has this version 5.2.3790.3959 wich is newer (I guess). Any ideas?
