If you are time syncing with a Non Windows server you may have to do a
0x8 command as well (see below)
This problem may occur when your computer sends synchronization requests by
using symmetric active mode. By default, Windows Server 2003 domain
controllers are configured as time servers and use symmetric active mode to
send synchronization requests. Some NTP servers that do not run Windows
respond only to requests that use client mode.
To resolve this problem, configure Windows Time to use client mode when it
synchronizes with the time server. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd , and then press ENTER.
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands in the order that
they are given. After you type each command, press ENTER.
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist: NTP_server_IP_Address ,0x8
/syncfromflags:MANUAL
net stop w32time
net start w32time
w32tm /resync

non-Windows NTP server in Windows Server 2003

I'm assuming you have a mixed environment... granted I'm small...but
I've not found the built in time sync to not sync once the DC has been
properly pointed and the ports are open on the firewall properly.
I've read somewhere (need to google this) that some of the military time
servers that we used to sync with are no longer externally sync-able.

Hello
Wonder if anyone out there has any NTP client software
recommendations? We need to keep some clients within 1-2 sec’s of our
stratum 1 timeserver and Windows Time simply does not cut it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Dan
