Windows Server - Windows Time

Hi
I established a new authoritative time server on my network - it is synching
with an external source properly

Example
Previous time server/PDC - DC1
DC2 gets promoted to PDS/authoritative time server
DC3 is still looking to DC1 for time even after changing the Windows time
service config on the previous PDC emulator

Event ID 35
The time service is now synchronizing the system time with the time source
dc1.abc.com (ntp.d|192.168.1.37:123->192.168.1.7:123).

Any ideas?

synching=20
time=20
source=20

To change the Windows Time service configuration on the previous PDC =
emulator
=20
1.  Open a Command Prompt.
=20
2.  Type the following command and then press ENTER:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /reliable:no /update
=20
3.  Type the following command and then press ENTER:

net stop w32time
=20
4.  Type the following command and then press ENTER:

net start w32time
=20

W32 Time Synchronizaton Windows Server We recently installed Ex2007 so we had to install two W2003 DC's. HOwever s at this time. One of two W2003 DC's has the FSMO and PDC Emulator roles. However, we have found some of our pc's are synchronizing their clocks to to NT5DS. But, we are still having a conflict. Did I miss a reg setting?

Normally you do not have to set the registry keys manual in Windows server 2003. It is more easy with the command line. On the PDCEmulator run: w32tm / config / manualpeerlist:PEERS / syncfromflags:manual / reliable:yes / update With "PEERS" you can set the time

NTP Server for time sync Windows Server Hi all. As I understand it, if I configure the PDC Emulator to sync with an NTP server by setting: w32time \ parameters \ NtpServer = time.example.com, 0x1 w32time \ parameters \ Type = NTP my PDC emulator seems to sync time with w32tm / resync] even if the NTP server does not exist. In fact, it even tells me the best way to confirm the NTP server is the source being used? thanks - j Windows Server Active Directory Discussions PDC Emulator (1) NTP Server (1) DC (1) Hello The, In a domain the DC with the

Time sync problems Windows Server Good afternoon, Our WS2008 domain controller which has the PDC emulator role and therefore acts as the time source for the whole domain, has been losing NTP service. At the moment it is configured as follows (LIst of peers) Peer: time.windows.com, 0x1 State: Active Time Remaining: 618.3029985s Mode: 1 (Symmetric Active) Stratum: 0 (unspecified 64s) HostPoll Interval: 6 (64s) There are no events in the System event log for w32time. Today I manually sent the resync command to it and the clock immediately gained about I hope this is all licked now but I still cannot understand why the PDC emulator is not syncing automatically. - - Windows Server Active Directory Discussions Vista (1) ISA firewall (1) PDC emulator (1) NTP service (1) Peer (1) Domain controller (1) DC (1) Hello NZSchooltech, Any firewall machines and not the ISPs one or other external DNS servers.
