Guest aja44 Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Hi all, I have a couple of servers and a few hundered computers in my school. I have a time sync as part of the users logon scripts that sync the time on their PC to the PDC Emulator FSMO box. All DC's are running Server 2003 with a couple of 2000 servers running applications. All the servers and PC's show the same time as my PDC Emulator. But when I go to http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java for time I find that I am 3 minutes off. I would like to sync my PDC Emulator DC to an outside time source. Can some help me out doing this. I found a kb article that has a series of registry settings but reference peers which I did not understand. Thanks,
Guest Bjarne Duelund Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Re: Setting my PDC Emulator to time sync to external time source Use this command on your PDC: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<timesource> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update where <timesource> is the IP address or DNS name of your external timesource. and restart the time service with (might not be needed, but just in case...): net stop w32time net start w32time All other Domain Controllers should sync automatically with the PDC and all other clients (member servers and workstations (Windows 2000+)) in the domain, should automatically sync with any Domain Controller - no need for syncing in the logon script. To assure normal domain time syncing on other than the PDC, use this command: w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update and restart the time service with: net stop w32time net start w32time Hope this helps, - Bjarne Duelund "aja44" <aja44@discussions.microsoft.com> skrev i meddelelsen news:00CB48C6-9B01-4310-B33E-9E17C2CEF2A9@microsoft.com... > Hi all, > > I have a couple of servers and a few hundered computers in my school.
