Guest Guest Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Greetings, I really would like to see a 593 event showing up in the system log, that to me would be positive confirmation. I have bounced the time service, done a w32tm -s (it's a 2000 box), and the /querysntp returns the correct value. My 11 warnings have stopped, but I would feel better if I got some "positive feedback" so I know the new time server is actually working for these servers. On one of my servers, I got a 593 shortly after bouncing the service, and this one has the Update Rollup for SP4 installed, the other two servers don't and they don't get the 593 after bouncing the services. I don't know if this make's a difference. If anyone has any information on this topic it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: How can I confirm I can access an NTP server Hello -, Do you run a domain environment or are all servers in a workgroup? In a domain you have to configure the DC with the PDCEmulator FSMO role to sync with an external time source. Any other DC in the domain will sync with this one and member servers/clients will sync with one available DC.

Guest Guest Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: How can I confirm I can access an NTP server Yes, it's the PDC emulator of the root domains of two forests. They're the ones that were complaining.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: How can I confirm I can access an NTP server Hello -, Ok, but this event id states only that the time was corrected, so it works.

Guest Guest Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Re: How can I confirm I can access an NTP server Yes but I only got the 593 only on one of the three DC's, I would like to get one, but I'm not, though I'm not getting the 11 warning.
