I simply used net time /setsntp:tick.usno.navy.mi<wbr />l and then enabled NTP in the group policy of the server. &nbsp;I'm hoping this fixes it.<br />

Thanks, <br />

We are running Server 2003 as our Domain Controller and the server time is about 7 to 8 minutes ahead of the actual time. &nbsp;When reset it will eventually become incorrect.<br />
<br />
My thought is that it's not syncing to the outside world.<br />
<br />
Consequently all the clients are 8 minutes ahead as well.<br />
<br />
Any ideas on why this is happening and how it can be fixed?<br />

Server 2003 time not synchronizing

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).

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
