Hi,
Im trying to configure the Server 2008 DC with the PDC role for my clients site to talk to an external time source to get it's time. The domain time hierarchy is working fine and all servers and clients are correctly in sync. But the PDC won't get its time from an external source.
It's a physical server so im not battling with Hyper-V or ESX time sync.
So far I've done this
Set the Announceflags to 5 here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags
Set the enabled value to 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer
Have added the NTP Server value to ”ntp-galway.hea.net,0x1 ntp2.ja.net,0x1" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
Started and stoped the time service.
Then when I run w32tm /query /source I get local cmos clock back and the time isn't the correct one.
I've also tried this
w32tm /stripchart /computer:ntp-galway.hea.net /samples:5 /dataonly
which comes back with the correct time, and tells me mine is 50 seconds out.
I then run this
w32tm.exe /config /manualpeerlist:"ntp-galway.hea.net" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
start and stop the time service and then re-query and get exactly the same.
any ideas?
