RE: [ActiveDir] time server

[Creamer, Mark]

Title: time server

It’s an AVAYA S8700 “Media Server.” The phone system admin showed me the web page where the Network Time Server should be configured on the AVAYA. It doesn’t let me choose which protocol, it simply has a place for the IP address or DNS name of the Network Time Server. We entered the IP, and it says Could not update Network Time Server (as if it tries to query and fails). We can ping the AVAYA from the DC, and they are on the same subnet.   I think (though unconfirmed) that the AVAYA runs on a proprietary Linux version.   Only other option I thought might be a factor is “Multicast client support”, which is currently set to no.   Our AD domains are Windows 2000.   <mc> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Muggli Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 3:02 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org; Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] time server   I own the time service for Windows, so I can field the OS question. The NTP server in Windows 2003 is NTP V3 RFC compliant and third party NTP clients can (well *should*) be able to sync with it. When you say “doesn’t seem to recognize”, is there an error message? How does it find a valid NTP server?   -Nathan   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 11:07 AM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] time server   Uncertain as to the OS in question here but Windows 2003 supports both NTP and SNTP -   http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/secmod118.mspx -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 1:56 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] time server Does your switch use/support SNTP (Simple NTP)? That is what Windows DCs support, not NTP.     joe   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 11:27 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] time server Our forest root server acts as the time server for AD domain member machines (I think that happens by default.) Do I have to take any additional steps to allow that same server to be the NTP server for a non-Windows device? The device is a phone switch on our network, and it doesn’t seem to recognize that server as being a valid NTP server. Thanks!
