Re: Is there a problem with time.windows.com?

David,
if it is only once in a while and only one error, don't worry about it.
There can be many reasons - lost packets, hiccup on one of the routers along
the way....
How often does this still show up?

Don't know how to tell you this but something is still wrong. The
Win32time
errors are still appearing on all servers!

W32Time

The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more
time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No
attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no
source of accurate time.

C:\>net time /querysntp
The current SNTP value is:
0.uk.pool.ntp.org,1.uk.pool.ntp.org,2.uk.pool.ntp.org
,3.uk.pool.ntp.org

The command completed successfully.

Something trivial I hope?

Grateful for any assistance.

Many thanks. I've made the changes. I let you know know how it
proceeds.

The syntaxt I used is:

net time
/setsntp:"0.uk.pool.ntp.org,1.uk.pool.ntp.org,2.uk.pool.ntp.org,3.uk.pool.ntp.org"

You forgot to put a "," between the servers. It should look like

spaces)

Oops.

C:\>net time /querysntp
The current SNTP value is: 0.uk.pool.ntp.org 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
2.uk.pool.ntp.org
3.uk.pool.ntp.org

achived using the net time /setsntp: command.

However on all of them:

and on one:

Time Provider NtpClient: An error occurred during DNS lookup of the

Port 123 is open for UDP.

I'm in the UK (obviously). What have I done wrong?

although port 123 is open inbound for udp and tcp.

Should I change my ports / time source?
