Re: SNTP Setup on Windows 2003


OK back from Vacation. Is there anything else we can try?

Recap: I am trying to get Windows 2003 Server to sync up with an external
NTP/SNTP network device, which is connected to our LAN

Hello Anthony,

Do you have any policy setting according to the time service configured?
In a command prompt type:
rsop

and control the output.

I sort of thought you were asking about the additional commands I
used. Below is the revised edition

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:PEERS /syncfromflags:manual /update

Gpedit.msc

Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative
Configuration | System | Windows Time Service | Time Providers |
Configure Windows NTP Client = Not Configured

Gpupdate /force

Net stop w32time && Net start w32time

w32tm /resync /rediscover

Hello Anthony,

So you didn't use:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:PEERS /syncfromflags:manual /update
where PEERS is replaced with ip address from your stratum device?

Hello Anthony,

Please post the command you used. Also what did you mean with
turned off Group policy? Do you use GPOs for time configuration?

Best regards

We have a LAN device which is our Stratum-1 time source for all
host. It provides NTP and SNTP version 1, 2, and 3 frames.

Made your suggested changes as described below

Ensured that Firewall is turned off

Just turned off Group Policy

Did a: Stop/Start of w32time

Did a: w32tm /resync /rediscover and got the following error
response: "The computer did not resync because no time data was
available."

Hello Anthony,

Be sure that UDP/123 is open when a firewall is used. Run
following command:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:PEERS /syncfromflags:manual /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/

Hello Anthony,

Is that a workgroup server or domain controller?

I am attempting to sync our new Windows 2003 Standard Edition
R2 server to our network NTP time source device. I have done
this for our other Windows 2000 servers with out a problem.

I have made similar changes to the W2k3 server to no good
avail. Why did it get so much more difficult?
