I believe that domain controller which you
use as the time source to sync other DCs will be monitored and time adjusted to
suit the correct time. I have made one server to sync with
time.windows.com. Then let all other servers including DCs to sync with this
one server. Internally my time server is that server which syncs with the
external time source. There are other time sources externally
from where you can sync your server. The info is at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q262680 in our environment sometimes I do get
serious problems with the XP clients as they are out of time sync with the DC. From: My domain controllers synchronize with the
system clock of one of the domain controllers. No external time source servers Regards, -----Original Message----- 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: 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: DISCLAIMER: |
