Setting Windows Server 2003 as the authoritative Network Time Server to external Timeserver.

To All experts in here,

I'm just wondering is it possible to configure my current PDCe to synch. with outside time source ?

I've been looking into http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042/ as it is a registry hack it needs a server restart.

would that be possible to do it in other way ?
and also does that sync. can make all of the Desktop and other servers synched altogether ?

Please shed some light on this matter.

thanks.

I personally reccomend the user of the microsoft article you found. Otherwise you could use 3th party tools to synchronisze your server.
For example: http://www.timetools.co.uk/time-servers/ntp-client.htm

Hi All,

i got the list from:

http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/au

it contains:
server 0.au.pool.ntp.org server 1.au.pool.ntp.org server 2.au.pool.ntp.org server 3.au.pool.ntp.org

here's what i did in the attached snippet.


net time /setsntp:"0.au.pool.ntp.org 1.au.pool.ntp.org 2.au.pool.ntp.org"
net stop w32time
net start w32time

Open in new window
