Title: RE: [ActiveDir] net time

Have you checked your event logs?  Usually it will tell you the reason why it cannot contact the PDCE or give you a hint.  It is usually DNS that is the culprit.  I set all of my DC's manually regardless as I do not want my DC's in London or Japan syncing with a PDCE in Philadelphia over the WAN but rather a local time source on a well connected high speed LAN.     Regards,   Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.
