How do I synchronize two servers?
I have two servers, a win2k domain controller and a win 2003 r2 storage server. How do I synchronize the clocks one to the other? Or better yet, how do I synchronize one to the other in general?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Net time /domain:[your-domainname] /set
You can try one free software "Dimension 4" (And also open NTP port on firewall)
http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4
1. Install this software on one of master server (e.g. server01)
2. Logon script "net time \\server01 /set /y"
3. Sync other servers and even client workstation by this logon script.
I hope it can help !

I have never been asked that question, but I don't think it matters. To be safe, I would set it to A.
Now, how do we test this:
Once done, manually adjust your server's clock. Then, go into Symmtime, right click the clock display and select synchronize now. Then, use the domain monitor utility to make sure your clients respond.
NOTE: The clients will not respond unless they are outside the phase offset. To adjust the phase offset, follow that article that microsoft has. Being 10 minutes out should make them reset.
