I get errors when I run that: 15:05:47 error: 0x800705B4. I did check that I can telnet into pool.ntp.org on port 123 UDP so the firewall isn’t blocking it.
I’m at a loss…..

To that end, what happens if you try “w32tm /stripchart /computer:pool.ntp.org<http://pool.ntp.org>” from the PDC?

And probably not the Windows firewall.

It gives me the error “The computer did not resync because no time data was available”, even after I follow the standard documentation to set the NTP server and to restart services. Event log shows it’s trying to connect to pool.ntp.org<http://pool.ntp.org> but it doesn’t receive a response. When I do this from my local PC it works. Perhaps there is something blocking it at the client site? Question is what…. Any thoughts? From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B.

It is current set to local but the time is off so I wanted to set it to an outside time source. When I run “w32tm /query /status”, it shows (source name: “LOCL”). So now I run “w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org<http://pool.ntp.org> /reliable:yes /update” and it completes successfully. I’ll restart the time service and do a query again but it still shows LOCL. I am doing this on the PDC on the domain. I’ve tried a reboot and even unregistering w32tm but nothing helps. I’m out of ideas. Thanks, JT
