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.
