Pinky swear?? As my two year old came home for the first time last week and said to me when I promised him a snack...
I will turn on the logging and let you know, I am really curious to see what is changing that. Am I wrong in thinking this is 2 issues. 1. The clock physically running fast. Independent of time sync 2. Time sync changing from external to Local CMOS when running a w32tm /resync /rediscover commands. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.

Every time the source changes, something gets logged on 2008 and above. And you can turn on logging for 2003. The change doesn't happen by itself. I promise. :) Regards, Michael B.

Everytime I run the resync command the stupid thing goes back to Local CMOS when I run a /query /source. So I set it again, run the /query /source shows the time.windows.com. Run the update, restart services, run the resync..bam back to local cmos. Its just my week for random MS issues... Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.

This kept causing the time to go back and forth and it turned out the ESX systems were getting skewed from the NTP source at a greater rate. So let the domain do its thing with the servers by setting time.

The 2008 R2 server runs faster. Watching the clock it actually tickets about 3 real seconds to 5 seconds on the clock in the console. Needless to say this puts stuff out of sync pretty quick. Looked online and I found a few posts regarding some weird time services, but nothing Microsoft or VMware. Anyone seen this before? The 2003 Server runs normally. I can resync against the DC and they are out of sync by 15 seconds in under a minute. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
