RE: [ActiveDir] win32 time service in domain controllers

My domain controllers synchronize with the system clock of one of the domain controllers. No external time source servers   Regards,   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 10:05 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] win32 time service in domain controllers   You don't specify what system clock is off by 5 minutes but for fun I will assume all system clocks in your forest. To that I ask... Are you syncing your forests to an external authoritative source? There is a time service available because computers tend to not keep time all that great and need constant adjustments. You do this by pointing a couple of your forest root DCs (specifically anything that can become the PDC of the root domain) to some external authoritative source and then let the rest of your environment autosync to (eventually) these servers.     joe   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharif Naser Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 1:47 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] win32 time service in domain controllers Hello experts,   I set the time properly in my domain controllers & after one month the system clock is late by 5 minutes.   How could this happen, how do I make sure this will never happen again.   Regards, DISCLAIMER: This electronic message transmission contains information from Qatar Steel Company (QASCO) which may be confidential or privileged.
