Computer Restart on it own...continutation of Dns error 4016 and Computer restarts

This is a continuation of question started on this search text
"Dns error 4016 and Computer restarts"

I have been continuing to get W32 errors in a single domain heirarchy. I read that I do not need any NTPClient configured if I my server can syncronize the clock using its Internal Time Source and from the router so I had not configured external NTP Source.

Yesterday eveninag 6:12 I received w32time event id 12...
"Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      W32Time
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      12

Computer:      MUMBAI
Description:
Time Provider NtpClient: This machine is configured to use the domain hierarchy to determine its time source, but it is the PDC emulator for the domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain hierarchy to use as a time source.  It is recommended that you either configure a reliable time service in the root domain, or manually configure the PDC to synchronize with an external time source.  Otherwise, this machine will  function as the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy.  If an external  time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable  the NtpClient.

then got this warning

"Event Type:      Warning

The time service has not synchronized the system time for 86400 seconds  because none of the time service providers provided a usable time  stamp. The time service is no longer synchronized and cannot provide  the time to other clients or update the system clock.

then I kept on getting some of these with different internal IP address

All along I was getting DNS 4016 error then at 7:40 AM this morning the server restarted and gave LAss error saying check to make sure active directory is wroking properly....It does this every couple of days....

My DNS is configured correctly and I do not have any other errors.

Today, I configured an external time source to time.nist.gov or something...

Please help.

Hi birenshukla,

i would be checking for malware - run all virus scans you can on the server

also rund dcdiag to see what it says

Cheers!
For syncing time, all you need to configure is your "PDC" to sync with either an external time source or a router or firewall that syncs with an external source.

To set your DC to do this, it's:

net time /setsntp:timeprovider

That's it, then stop and start the w32time service.

Your other DCs will sync their time with the "PDC" and the workstations will sync their time with their login DC.

Make sure your firewall is allowing NTP traffic to sync as needed.

Ok. I have configured my single domain controller to external time source time.nist.gov... I restarted W32 time service and opened UDP 123 on firewall. I tried to ping time.nist.gov and it fails. I also ran dcdiag and following are the results. Everything passes except the time test.

Do I really need to syncronize with external time source since I have a single DC? Can I use my router IP address as SETSNTP since my router does syncronize?

I added my router as my NTP Client time source and the test still failed. Can I just disable NTPCLient...I really dont need external time source syncronization...Any sugggestions?

The dcdiag test still shows the NTPClient syncronization failed.

DHCP is on the router.

at first it said that it is syncronizing and then it said that it is receving invalid data from time.nist.gov....and then the server restarted. what is going on please hlp? So no matter if I set external time source to time.nist.gov or to the router the w32time service says that receiving invalid data. Please help.
how do i know if my router is syncing with external time source. It does not look like it...since immediately after it says syncing time with time source....it says unable to contact time source or receving invalid data...
try a different time source...go with a stratum 2 in your area.
