Re: Domain Time Sync'ing

Event logs? What's in the event logs regarding w32time? usually, after
startup of the service you'll see entries indicating that it's successfully
sync'ing time. Or you'll see entries indicating that it is not. If you see
nothing, that's a different issue.

Can you check and let us know?

1 domain, all Win2k3 servers
2 DC's, shared roles (1 has 4 of the 5 roles, the other has the remaining
role)

We had our PDC crash two months ago. I was able to bring it back online,
but only after a complete rebuild. Afterwards I cleaned up Active
Directory
and got all of the roles straightened out. Dcdiag reports all tests pass
on
both DC's. However, we've been noticing client clocks out of sync with
the
servers, which are in sync with each other.

Can someone please start from scratch and tell me what I need to do to get
the clients to sync with either of the DC's, which both state that they
are
successfully advertising themselves as time servers? I've read KB's and
posts all day long and have only gotten more and more confused. It's
amazing
that something this simple requires more than a few clicks of a mouse to
get
working properly.

Feel free to bash me, and I will answer any questions you have.

TIA

PS - I've tried the "w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update" then
stop/start net time on several different clients and although those do not
error out, the clocks are still off, even after reboots.
