Re: XP + AD 2003 Time Sync

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

This is the problem! I've got EVERYTHING configured properly with
Windows Time, and from my testing, the workstations are NOT syncing to
the DC with the PDC role. My PDC is synced to an atomic clock, and
never seems to be off. Its just the workstations and some member
servers.

Particularly, I find that my Exchange server's time is frequently off,
and then it looks like the clients are syncing with the Exchange
server (they have the same wrong time), even though its only a member
server. When I run w32tm /resync on the Exchange servers the time
fixes itself, so I know the Windows Time Service is functioning kind
of.

Any ideas? Anyone have the same issues? Anyone use a third party
tool to do it?

Thanks
