I know this is the way it is supposed to work, but I have a couple of XP workstations that stay on all the time, or used to. They would only sync when restarted. Some of the time they would sync on a logon, however most of the time they would only sync on a restart or a power off and back on. The last of these processes have been retired so I no longer have that issue.

Check the eventlog. Then try w32tm /resync. If successful, the time service should walk itself back in From: Phillip Partipilo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 8:29 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Times My cellphone and my DCs are all in sync, using the NTP pool, but oddly, now that this thread has come up, my workstation is 2 minutes off. Does a Windows XP workstation wait until a certain skew threshhold has been reached before it decides to resync the workstation to the domain or something? Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.
