Guest Tigger Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I have a windows 2003 server which is our domain controller. The time on the server is slow by about 8 minutes to the correct time. This in turn would cause the clients that login to the domain to be off also. How do you fix the time on the server so it is the correct time? Does the server sync with an external source?
Guest Brad Dinerman [MVP - Enterprise Security] Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Re: windows time is not accurate You can force the server to synch with a specified external time server. One that I use is time-a.nist.gov, which is in the US. (Not sure where you're located...) Use this command to set the server's authoritative time source: NET TIME /SETSNTP:time-a.nist.gov Yours, Brad _______________________________________________ Bradley J.

Guest Tigger Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 RE: windows time is not accurate What is the default setting on the server? Is it getting the time from an external server or is it getting the time internally? I did a "net time /querysntp" in the command prompt. It came back with "time.windows.com, 0x1".
