Hello Experts trying to configure our AD DS as an authoritative time server. Running command w32tm /query /peers returns

Peer:
State: Pending
Mode: 0 (reserved)
Stratum: 0 (unspecified)
PeerPoll Interval: 0 (unspecified)
HostPoll Interval: 0 (unspecified)

I tried adding NTP servers how ever unable to sync to one of the below, but unable to ping either one.

Rob these are both good articles, however neither one address the issue of not being able to ping using either hostname or ip address.

Dr. Klahn

Well, I can't ping either of them from here. So presumably that is a deliberate action on the part of the server operators, denying echo packets.
