I have a W2K3 AD domain. Gets its time synch from our Cisco switch, which gets time from outside. Usually works OK; hiccups once in a while; no big deal. I've run into an interesting problem, though. We have Cisco VoIP phones, which display the time on the screen. A user complained because the time was about 6 minutes different between the phone and her PC. I started looking into it, took care of a few things, but came across something I can't resolve. Our Cisco Call Managers (W2K servers running Cisco call-handling apps) are not members of the domain. Cisco documentation says they should be stand-alone servers. I try and use net time /setsntp:switchIPaddress or net time /setsntp:PDCEname. Either one works, but when I do a net time /set, it fails with "Could not locate a time-server". Q243574 explains that only the PDCe can so an external synch. So how do we get a stand-alone machine to set the time? It's kind of important, because the phones get their time display from the Call Managers' OS time. Any ideas? Thanks!
