    I have the DC at the root of our forest set up to be the
    time source for syncing time through the network. My
    clients are getting Event id:11, source: w32time daily
    which seems that they are not syncing with the NTP
    server. Also, the time seems a little behind. On the DC,
    I ran NET TIME \\SERVERNAME /SETSNTP:ntp server in our
    area. It completed successfully, but time did not
    change. I tried another NTP server in our state with same
    results, but time is not adjusted. Also, if I run NET
    TIME on my ws, it lists the time on an old RS6000 running
    AIX. The time on that computer is actually faster than
    mine.

    Is there a registry edit to make the DC the authoritative
    NTP for the domain so if I type NET TIME on a PC it will
    list the time of the DC?

    I know this should probably be simpler and I am only off 4-
    5 minutes, but the boss thinks we are running behind if we
    go by our ws clocks.

    If anyone can suggest some open NTP servers for central
    time zone, that would be good, too. Any suggestions will
    be appreciated.
