Hello Meinolf,

Thanks for your help.
Actually the registry is from one pc with xp not the server.
When you mean the PDCEmulator, you mean the server right?

The w32time setting on the server (win 2003 server small business)
has NTP.

Regards,
David

As Meinolf mentioned, the Time service under Windows is intergrated with AD and windows services. By Default, the domain controller that holds the PDC Emulator Role is the time service for the domain. Also by default, ALL machine in the domain will seek the domain controller holding the PDC Emulator Role.

To configure the Time Service domain controller holding the PDC Emulator Role, follow these steps to be only performed domain controller holding the PDC Emulator Role:

net stop w32time
net time /setsntp:192.5.41.41
net start w32time

THis will set the time service to sync time with 192.5.41.41, a well known US Naval time server on the internet. If you need a time service elsewhere, here is a list:

There are no other registry changes, modifications, additions required, nor any third party applications that need to be installed. It all works by default, and it works nicely I may add.
