Re: SBS 2003 Time sync problem

Les, does this apply on a Windows2003 (non-SBS) AD domain network as
well?

Domain Controllers and members have a well defined time sync algorithm and
you do not want to break it.
PDCe's should be the only servers getting external time sync. All others
should maintain the time sync heirarchy.

That said, what Les posted works excatly the same for other PDCe's (Like SBS
is) as well.

Copy and paste these lines into notepad, and save as <yourname>.bat

Watch for line wrap, there are 5 lines, the first ends with the word
MANUAL.

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org
2.pool.ntp.org",0x8 /syncfromflags:MANUAL

w32tm /config /update

net stop w32time

net start w32time

w32tm /resync /nowait



Run the batch file on your SBS. You can replace the time server list
(between the " and the ") if you like, but you probably don't need
to. Check your event log for successful time sync after you run it.

Is there a way to change the location or server to which SBS 2003
syncs its time.
