Current time and network time are different
Hi,
I see that there have been others with this problem but I still can't find a solution.
When logging onto the Domain Server (2003 Small Business Server) One station out of 12 gets the message "The current time on the computer and the current time on the network are different". "Could not locate a time-server" Same response on the server and all the other computers on the network which are not having the problem.
Help
There doesn't seem to be a time server on the network. Whe I go to dos and do a net time command - I get the response that there is no

thats what the link to microsoft states in configuring NTP time in windows 2003 managed environment, except the NTP servers you stated, i have taken note of them as i have only ever used time.nist.gov but i am always interested in adding more to my list :P

The time difference a windows client can be out of sync with the DC is 5 minutes I believe, at least with Active Directory, not 6.

Hi Everyone,
Now it's my turn. I didn't try everything all of you so kindly sent along but I tried much of it and much of what I had found on other sites.
It is fixed. Here is how. I uninstalled the client for microsoft from the network panel, rebooted and reinstalled it.
That was it.
I will set up the time server as suggested by prashsax.
Thanks for all your contributions.

Hmm I've tried everything above. It works great on the server etc.. but I still have a client that has JUST joined the domain that will not let me logon (using a domain user) becaus the time is "different" from the servers. I even logged on locally and "synced" the time with the server using the:
net time /setsntp:{servername}
Got "command completetd successfully".
I then logged off the local account and tried to logon to the domain and got the SAME error...
"The current time on the computer and the current time on the network are different". Pleae contact your administrator to logon...
net time /setsntp:{servername}
Got "command completetd successfully".

Bah! Nevermind. Rebooted the client after that setting.. it works now!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Reboot the computer and enter the BIOS configuration. Check the Time and Date settings. Readjust the time and date settings if they are out of sync. Save the settings and Reboot.
Exactly-rastaph1.... The most common cause is that some users will use the time/date in the bottom right corner to view the calendar, inadvertently changing the date or time. Booting into BIOS/Setup will allow you to get the time/date settings corrected and then login as normal.
use this command on client pc.
net time \\DC_IP_ADDRESS
