Question

W32Time Issues

Asked by: DVation191

SBS2000 Server. It's the only DC in the domain. Followed instructions here...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216734
How to configure an authoritative time server in Windows 2000

Running "net time /querysntp" on the DC shows "the current sntp value is:  ntp.nasa.gov"

I keep getting Event ID 62 and Event ID 64 in my event log.

According to EventID.net on Event ID 62
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=62&eventno=274&source=w32time&phase=1
I did the following "Sync with the navy time server: "w32tm -s"; if you get a response that looks something like "RPC to local server returned 0x6b5", then it worked, but if you get "RPC to local server returned 0x0" then it did not, which usually happens if you run the command while the w32time service is running."
I get the output "RPC to local server returned 0x0", which indicates (according to the article) that it's working okay

What am I doing wrong and why do I keep getting Event ID 64 and 62 errors in the Event Log?

well I was not the one that actually configured our firewall, but as I understand it, all outgoing traffic is permitted.

so maybe it's inbound traffic that needs to be allowed? is there a command I can run to test for connectivity? what ports do I need to have open?

btw, I have tried three other .gov ntp servers before nasa's
