I just went through this little exercise upgrading from win2k to windows 2003. Our forest pdc emulator couldn't talk out to an external source until we put timeserver.domain.com,0x8 behind it. Here is an article that explains this.

I found the following commands to configure a time server in AD: Net Time /Setsntp:<servername> W32tm /Config /manualpeerlist What is the difference between the W32tm and Net Time command? Can I use either of these commands to configure a time source in AD and sync with an external time server? Do I need to manually sync the time on all the DCs with the PDC emulator's time or will the DC automatically contact the PDC emulator for the time sync? Thanks in advance!
