RE: Windows Time

Hello Tony,

Thank you for your update.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

Step 1:
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows Server
2003. For more information, click the following article number to view the
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

889100 How to obtain the latest service pack for Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=889100

Step 2:
This problem may occur when your computer sends synchronization requests by
using symmetric active mode. By default, Windows Server 2003 domain
controllers are configured as time servers and use symmetric active mode to
send synchronization requests. Some NTP servers that do not run Windows
respond only to requests that use client mode.

To resolve this problem, configure Windows Time to use client mode when it
synchronizes with the time server. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd , and then press ENTER.

2. At the command prompt, type the following commands in the order that
they are given. After you type each command, press ENTER.

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist: NTP_server_IP_Address ,0x8
/syncfromflags:MANUAL
net stop w32time
net start w32time
w32tm /resync

For more info:
Time synchronization may not succeed when you try to synchronize with a
non-Windows NTP server in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=875424

Step 3:
If you install Dell Open Mange Software, please stop the Remote Access
Controller (RAC) service that is included with Dell Open Mange Software.

If the issue persists, please kindly help me collect some information for
further investigation:

Save the application event log and system event log as evt files on the
problematic machines and send to my mailbox: v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
