Re: Domain time - clients not synching with DC

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello EdRoche,

Check out this command at the clients:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:

net stop w32time

net start w32time

Did you test it on one machine with the firewall disabled? Also make sure that you only use domain internal DNS servers.

Best regards

For some reason the clients in our domain are not synching the time
with the domain controller - I presume should be default behaviour.
They are out but only a few minutes but it is v annoying and sometimes
causes people not to get their mapped drives. I would put a net time
line into the login script but as most users are not admins on the
local PCs they dont have access to change time under their account.
The client firewalls are on and I included a port exception for 123
UDP.

Should the clients update their time automatically with the DC
automatically? Can someone explain a simple and straight forward
solution?

Thanks
