Guys, My network is simple two domain controllers(
win 2000). Pdc is the my
time server for the domain. Now why my domain controllers
time changed to 5 minutes late. Is this normal or could happen. What are the
causes? Regards, -----Original Message----- 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:

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.

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: DISCLAIMER: |
