Noticed today that the FRDC has the wrong time. Its 5 mins fast and so all PCs have wrong time on them!

 

Have checked server and getting error 29 saying its configured to acquire time from one or more time sources but none are available.

 

I have tried setting the ntp servers manually and also trying the microsoft online fix it tool but that doesnt work. Also tried pinging these ntp servers on name and IP but getting no response so wondering if firewall issue? all our servers go through county so may need to speak to them?

Don't use ping, chances are it's blocked.

 

Just try it and see if it works.

 

Tried it doesnt work

 

Event viewer says it could not contact the IP after 8 attempts etc. Left overnight to resync but still 5 mins fast this morning

Have you tried using the SWGfL ntp server?

 

yep as per ICT_GUY's post i tried that using name and IP

 

Do you have a firewall between your server and the LEA?

 

No we currently have direct connection to them

 

Contact your ISP to request the details of their time server if they have blocked your outbound attempts.

 

Have logged a call with them for their details - for meantime have manually set it :D

Your master DC for time (the PDC/PDC emulator by default) will be the one with a ntp running. You can query it with the w32 command in the cmd console:

w32tm /monitor

 

That should show you which of the DCs is the master time controller in your domain.

 

There are some other options for the w32tm command which are handy for checking the sync etc...

A lot of the settings can be set with group policy.

The server is the master DC for time - all others point to it with the w32tm /monitor command
