SBS Server time fast

Hi All

The time on my SBS2011 seems to be getting further and further ahead.

I was hoping it would put itself right but it is now over 30 mins fast.

I know i can just correct it manually but will it not just go fast again?

Thanks

Do you know how your server keeps time? Is it on its internal clock or synchronized with an external NTP server. I'd recommend the latter.
Also is your server running on a physical hardware of is it running on virtual platform such as vmware?

Its on physical hardware.

Getting Event ID 50.

The time service detected a time difference of greater than 5000 milliseconds for 900 seconds. The time difference might be caused by synchronization with low-accuracy time sources or by suboptimal network conditions. The time service is no longer synchronized and cannot provide the time to other clients or update the system clock. When a valid time stamp is received from a time service provider, the time service will correct itself.

You don't ve a VMWare ESXI with SBS2011 on it? Resolve NTP Settings on ESXi :-)

I don't use Windows NTP
Try this:

------
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:ptbtime1.ptb.de
net stop w32time
net start w32time
------

instead of ptbtime1.ptb.de you can use any reliable TimeServer (NTP) in your TLD i.e. *.com
