Re: windows time slower than 10 mins

Hi KC,

Thanks for posting back. I appreciate your time.

I am jenny and I am backup of Steve for he is now taking sick leave. I will
continue work with you till Steve back. I am sorry for inconvenience for
that.

For current situation, please refer to the following article to have the
SBS server sync with an external time source.

How to configure an authoritative time server in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216734

Have you installed ISA server on the SBS server? If yes, please check into
the following article to get steps to configure ISA settings to allow
synchronizes with external time server:

How To Configure the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) on ISA Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=323621

More information:
262680 A List of the Simple Network Time Protocol Time Servers That Are
Available on the Internet
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=262680

If the issue persists, the problem may lies in motherboard and BIOS issue
as Steve said. Since the Windows Time is based on the motherboard clock. So
if you find the time is always not accurate you''d better check your
motherboard and BIOS.

For further trouble shoot the issue, please run command "msinfo32" (no
quotation marks) on the DC server box to launch System Information console.
And click File and then Save. Save the system information to a .nfo file to
send to me. My working mailbox: v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

It doesn't work,
instead, the command prompt returned with these instruction:
By the way, I have windows 2000 server standard for DC
thanks

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.OPENSPACE>w32tm /config
/syncfromf
anual /manualpeerlist:204.123.2.72
w32tm [ -tz | -s [computer] | -adj | -adjoff | -source | -once ]
[-test] [-v] [-p <port>] [-period <freq>]

Primary options:
-tz print the local time zone info and exit.
-s [<computer>] force the given computer (or the local computer if
none is given) to resynchronize, then exit.
-adj set the computer's system clock frequency to the last
frequency determined during synchronization, then exit.
-adjoff set the computer's system clock frequency the system
default, then exit
-source choose a synchronization source, then exit. Note that a
source is chosen before each synchronization, so this is
useful only in showing that a source could be found.
Remember to use -v to see the output.
-once do only one synchronization, then exit.
Otherwise, run continuously as a client, synchronizing the local
clock until ctrl-c is pressed.

The program will also run as a server any time the service
would (when it is on a DC, or when the registry flag is set).

The following options can be used in conjunction with the above:
-test prevent the time on the local system from actually
being modified.
-v print out a verbose description of what the program is
doing. This is usually needed since otherwise the
program produces no output. The exceptions are -s and
-tz.
-p <port> set the server port.
-period <freq> set the sync period just as in the registry. That
is:
0 == once a day
65535 == once every 2 days
65534 == once every 3 days
65533 == once every week (7 days)
65532 == once every 45 min until we get 3 good syncs,
then
once every 8 hrs (3/day)
65531 == once every 45 min until we get 1 good sync, then
once every day
Otherwise, <freq> times per day.

Hi,

Thanks for your update.

Please try to configure the SBS server to synchronize with an external
time
server, and let me know the result. Thanks.

Have a great day.
