Guest Dave Mc Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I have looked at kb article 816042 which describes how to configure authoritative time server in W2003 by making several registry entries. But, I also see a post which says all you have to do is issue the following commands: w32tm /config /syncfromflags:MANUAL /manualpeerlist:fqdn.of.the.time.server w32tm /config /update This seems a lot simpler but is it correct ?? Thanks
Guest Tsunami Australia Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Re: Time server I followed the whole process adding in extra time servers as the supplied time server often does not respond. I haven't had any issues since.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Re: Time server Hello Dave, It is correct: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/ce8890cf-ef46-4931-8e4a-2fc5b4ddb0471033.mspx?mfr=true 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.
