Re: Setting up time synch

Hello Dana,

All domain controllers sync with the PDCEmluator in a domain and the workstations and member servers choose one available DC in the domain for the time sync. So all have the same time.

If something does not work and you have errors in the event viewer about time sync, make sure that port 123 udp is openend on firewalls.

If domain machines does not sync correct run:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:
net stop w32time
net start w32time

Best regards

Oh, one other thing: the XP PCs will automatically synch to the
server's time?

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
