David,

13, 10 and 8 is a lot. Are you sure the configuration is right? Any spaces
in the list?
MAC is fine. You will have the occasional one pop up.

Thanks both for the prompt responses.

Yesterday:

WTR: 13
MAC: 1
PRT: 0
JCJ: 10
SOL: 8
RAC: 0
EST: 0

Bearing in mind that some will have gone full cycle and will be retrying
at
intial 15 min intervals and some at much longer periods.

EST has not shown any for a few days. It will take some time to dig
through
all the Performance Reports but I will do so if it's useful.

Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately these errors appear on
several Win2003SBS each day and there are multiple occurrences. Port
123
is
open on the router.

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

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

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:

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.

I seem to see this error intermittently but for some weeks

Should I change my ports / time source?
