With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Time Sync not working

Asked by cherrylane in File Servers, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Windows 2003 Server, XP

I am having multiple issues with Time Sync on my Domain and Workstations which i need to get to the bottom of. After troubleshooting and testing I am stuck and Don't know how to proceed. I have tried to follow numerous articles and solutions from this site and microsoft's support site. Here is what i've found out.
1) i have a laptop which is not part of the domain which is able to sync time using the Internet Time tab in Date and Time Properties. It has no problem syncing to time.nist.gov. Once i join the laptop to the domain I get the following error when trying to sync Internet Time: "An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.gov.
2) Since the laptop can sync when in WORKGROUP the firewall is allowing UDP port 123 outbound.
3) none of my domain workstations or servers are able to sync to an Internet Time source, therefore my PDC cannot sync to an external time source.
4) When i check Date and Time properties on a workstation and go to the Intenet Time tab the check box to automatically update with an internet time source is NOT checked. Grayed out is the error 'An error occured while Windows was synchronizing with 192.168.1.24. The Peer is unreachable.' 192.168.1.24 is my PDC.
5) On the PDC, once a day, i get W32Time Error ID 47: that no valid response has been received from manually configured peer 192.168.1.24 and Error ID 29: ...none of the time sources are currently accessible.
6) On the workstation, once a day, i get Event ID 36: Time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for xxxxx seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable time stamp. The system clock ins unsynchronized.

How do i get my PDC to update time via an internet time source?
How do i get the workstations to sync with my PDC?

Thanks
