Re: Setting up time synch

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Dana,

On the DC with the PDCEmulator FSMO:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com) or an ip address from a reliable time source.

Here you can find some of them:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/

If some domain machines have problems

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:
net stop w32time
net start w32time

Best regards

Hi,

We have a domain environment with a W2K3 server and a W2K3 terminal
server. How do I get the main server to get the correct time via the
internet and have that time always synch across the network (term
srver and all WinXP PCs)?

Thx,

D
