On the third party client (what OS is it),
try specifying more than one ntp source for synching. Thank You, Anthony Scott Berbee (616) 481-9722 (616) 464-6369 From:

any DC in their domain or any DC in the parent domain; the PDCe of a
child domain can sync with the PDCe of the root domain or any DC in the root
domain. Phil On 12/13/05, Tony

wrote: Hi Manjeet Domain members sync their time with a
local DC. DCs sync their time with the PDCE. The PDCEs for each
domain sync with the root domain PDCE. The recommendation is for the
root PDCE to sync with an internal hardware clock, but an exerternal time
source would also do the trick. This is true for both mixed and native
mode. Time should be ok if the PDCE is out for a
short period of time, because the time on the machines that sync with it are
not likely to go out of sync quickly. If you plan to take the the PDCE out for
any length of time (e.g. for major maintenance) then consider transferring
the PDCE role to another DC in advance. Tony From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Behalf Of Manjeet Singh In an windows 2003 AD environment- In terms of time sync, what's the effect on client when the
server having PDC emulator role is down? One of my third party clients (outside the AD environment) is
unable to sync the time with the AD ntp server when PDC emulator server was
down. What are the actual roles of a PDC emulator in syncing the
time? Is this functionally is different in mixed and native mode? Thanks, Manjeet |
