Grommit Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Hi what would the best and simplest way to have all servers and workstations have the same time ?
webman Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 IIRC, a script with: net time \\server /set /yes Where \\server is a server that has the correct time and syncs to NTP ocassionally.
DMcCoy Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Group policy, Windows Time. Sync DC to external source (it has to be an authorative source or else the DC won't allow clients to use it for ntp) Configure the gpo for client machines (not the dcs, can't sync to itself!) to point to the externally synced DC.
eduabncs Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 If your in Birmingham the BGfL has NTP servers. Just point your time server to ntp.bgfl.org

Most will do as they are required in order to sync services in the data centre. If not, then as webman points out there are others ntp servers available elsewhere on the net.

I remember trying that here a couple of years ago, RM technicians response: "whats an NTP server" I tried to explain but he just didn't get it, found it eventually though, think it might have been on their DNS.
GrumbleDook Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I used the JANET NTPs until they locked them to JANET only. RBCs have their own.
Busybub Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042/ Set up your PDC as an authoritative time server using it's own internal clock and have the workstations synchronize with it.
zag Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 massive thead bump batman but thanks for the UK time servers.
