I had a registry error that fixed that problem. &nbsp;One more quick question, should I configure the registry on teh remaining domain controllers to use the PDC as teh NTP server or should I leave them to the default time.windows.com,0x1?

Personally, I would have all my DCs pointing to my PDC emulator for time control.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have been having some time sync issues that are causing all kinds of havoc. &nbsp;I keep getting an Event 29 in the System Log. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I just keep getting this error in the logs on all my domain controllers:<br />
<br />
&quot;The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.&quot;<br />
<br />
I have manually synced all the servers, My PDC and all the others seem to have the same time running, so I am not really sure why there is this issue. &nbsp;I have the PDC timed off the CMOS clock so i am not using an external clock.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
