W32Time ID 50 on Windows 2003 Server


Recommended Posts

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?

Ensure that your PDC is syncrhonizing time with an authoratitive external source.

My PDC is syncronizing with two external NTP server (italian NTP server wich

are available, I've checked), and I've set the type of Time Server in the

registry to "NTP"
