Re: Server 2003 Time Server - NTP address keep reverting.



Hello Keloid,

On the PDCEmulator run:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com) or an ip address from a reliable time source.

Here you can find some of them:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/

Best regards

I have 2003 DC setup as a GC, DNS and FSMO holder. It running the time
service for the domain. The old NTP server was Firewall appliance and
that function has been moved, so the time service is loggings errors
because it can't sync. I've gone in to the registry and changed the
NTP address to the IP of MS time server 207.46.x.x. Anyway, each
morning I come back to work and the IP address has reverted to the
original address. I'm at my wits end. I read numerous docs on this
process and gone through the steps several times but the IP keeps
changing. There are no GP settings that I could find that could be
resetting this address. I really need help here or I'm in big trouble.
