I've been attempting to set up a new timeserver for a windows server 2008 R2 (64bit) machine to get it's time and i keep getting stopped at the final hurdle when it comes to resyncing the w32tm because i don't have access.
So far I've
- Used the register and unregister in both cmd and powershell
- Used Net Stop and Net Start commands in both cmd and powershell
- Lowered my UAC
- Launched both Cmd and Powershell in administrator level
- Made sure administrators are allowed to read and write in the security settings of cmd.exe
- Edited the registers in REGEDIT according to kb816042 and other KB articles on this microsoft support site which talk about changing the W32tm folder
- Rebooted the computer several times
My connection seems to be fine, i can ping my external timeserver as well as use the "w32tm /stripchart /" command in cmd to determine the difference between the time and my server and that of the external time server.
I've used the w32tm /config /update /manualpeerlist: cmd and set the timeserver to reliable and been told it's completed successfully.
However i can't seem to be able to /resync, before this it was saying there was no time service available after a lot of changes I've reached the same point and now I have this error.
Please help I'm at my wits end!!
