[1903, au] Time - Out of sync

[newpersn]

Got a random time issue at a site.

 

The Time is out of sync.

 

I have corrected the Host and re-enabled time sync with the guest. (SWGfL NTP syncs to host > Time sync with the virtual DC).

 

The DC's all have the right time and the servers i have checked also have the right time.

 

Looked at a few 1903 computer the Windows Time Service is disabled?!

 

Why is the time service disabled?

does "net time" still work on the workstation? I still don't think it should be disabled but mine is on manual.

We found this in a couple of our schools, randomly some machines had the time service disabled. In some we also couldn't re-enable the service (this was on 1809) and had to re-register the service. I've created a batch file and put it into a GPO start up script. Haven't had any more complaints at those schools.

 

SET PROG="C:\w32time.txt"

 

IF NOT EXIST %PROG% GOTO INSTALL

exit /b 0

 

:INSTALL

net stop w32time

w32tm /unregister

w32tm /register

net start w32time

w32tm /resync

echo w32tm reset %date% %time% >>C:\w32time.txt

exit /b 0

How do i remotly get computers to look at a DC for time?

 

When i enable to service it get the time from the CMOS (which is an hour out) if there something i can set in GPO to get it time from the DC or a NTP server (as secondary)

What happens if you run the w32tm /resync on an affected computer? Does it sort it out?
