Cant get Clients or Member server to Time Sync with my DC.

[Guest Adam N.]

I have one DC, one member server and 15 PC's.

I followed the steps outlined in the Article ID : 816042 but nothing is in

sync.

 

When I do a net time from my workstation it says "Current time at \\my

workstation is..."

 

So somehow my workstation is the authorative time. I have checked other PC's

and they say the same thing...

 

Please help.

 

Thanks so much

Hello Adam N.,

 

On the Domain controller which must be the PDCEmulator you have to configure

the time source:

 

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

 

With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com)

or an ip address from a reliable time source.

 

Here you can find some of them:

http://www.pool.ntp.org/

 

The member server and the workstations will automatically synchronize with

the DC by default.

 

 

Best regards

Re: Cant get Clients or Member server to Time Sync with my DC.

 

Meinolf,

 

Thank you for answering my post! Could you please help me with some of the

details?

 

In the line

"w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes

/update"

 

where are the "peers" defined? and the same for "manual" are they text files

that I am supose to have saved somewhere?

 

Does the member server and the clients sync with the DC because they are in

a domain and the DC is the PDCEmulator?

 

Thanks again.

Hello Adam N.,

 

replace peers with the ip address or name (time.windows.com)

That is not working,

 

Allow me to list the steps I have taken. Please forgive the CAPS.

 

ON THE DC I DID:

 

C:\>w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"tock.usno.navy.mil time.nist.gov

pool.ntp.org

time.windows.com" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

The command completed successfully.

 

C:\>net stop w32time && net start w32time

The Windows Time service is stopping.

The Windows Time service was stopped successfully.

 

The Windows Time service is starting.

The Windows Time service was started successfully.

 

AND I STILL GET:

 

C:\>net time

Current time at \\MY COMPUTER is 1/10/2008 10:31 AM

 

The command completed successfully.

 

 

ON THE CLIENT PC I DID:

 

C:\>w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

The command completed successfully.

 

C:\>net stop w32time && net start w32time

The Windows Time service is stopping.

The Windows Time service was stopped successfully.

 

The Windows Time service is starting.

The Windows Time service was started successfully.

 

AND I STILL GET:

 

C:\>net time

Current time at \\CIAN-OPS5 is 1/10/2008 10:32 AM

 

The command completed successfully.

Hi Adam N

 

If you have the DC getting its time already and the problem you are having

is getting your clients to set there time to the DC's time... we put this

line in our login batch file.

 

net time \\servername /set /yes
