You shouldn't have run the /setsntp command on anything other than the PDCe.
All other domain members are set, by default, to use Nt5Ds -which means the
domain hierarchy. You'll need to undo this on the other DCs.
I can't remember if /setsntp: <nothing> will reset things (probably not).
So you'll need to drill down to HKLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\
W32Time\ Parameters and edit the Type REG_SZ to be Nt5Ds (I'm going from
memory here, but I think this is right) and delete the NtpServer REG_SZ
value.
Try something like "windows time" | w32time site:support.microsoft.com in
google. There's an article that covers all registry values.
You can also enable success logging, as by default it only logs errors and
warnings to the event log.

Hello, Environment: Win2000/2003 Servers in a mixed-mode 2003 Active Directory. DC1 is PDCEmulator FSMO role and configured to obtain time synch externally from US Navy. I ran net time /setsntp:dc1 on each of my other domain controllers and ran net start/stop w32time. Time synch seems to be OK on the DC's but I am getting a few of these: Event ID: 50 First event: 02/08/2005 23:25:45 Last event: 02/09/2005 12:48:39 Source: W32Time Type: Warning User: - Log: System Computer: Description: The time service detected a time difference of greater than 5000 milliseconds for 900 seconds. The time difference might be caused by synchronization with low-accuracy time sources or by suboptimal network conditions. The time service is no longer synchronized and cannot provide the time to other clients or update the system clock. When a valid time stamp is received from a time service provider, the time service will correct itself. 15 minutes later however...it sync's up fine. My member servers are syncing but I do get these occasionally: Event ID: 12 First event: 02/09/2005 12:38:42 Last event: 02/09/2005 12:38:42 Source: w32time Type: Warning User: - Log: System Computer: Description: The NTP server isn't sync'd, time not set Question: Is there any way to 'reset' all the time settings on my DCs/member servers to default...which I would think means to pull it from the AD hierarchy..? Using the net time /setsntp: command changes the registry to NTP instead of NT5DS (which I believe is what I want) My main concern is that if DC1 goes offline and I specify another DC as the PDCemulator...I'd like hierarchical time instead of running the net time command on each server. Hope this makes sense...appreciate any help. CB
