Hi Guys,

I have a customer who has problems with synchronizing a Windows 2003 Server (SP2) with one of our NTP Servers (runs NTPv4).

Anyone who has successfully managed to sync her/his W2003 box with a V4 ntpd and who could give me some hints regarding the correct configuration? Some kind of registry export would be nice, I could compare such a thing with the one I have from the customers server...

Oh, before you ask: No, it is not possible to install "real" NTP-stuff on that machine, I cannot get any Ethereal dump or have other diagnostic possibilities. All I know is that according to the eventlog W32TM is trying to synchronize, fails a couple of times and gives up. It then marks itself "unsynchronized" and all clients are free running like hell.

... and yes, I asked Microsoft as well but did not receive a reply so far...

Thanks in advance,
Heiko




I have successfully used the procedure given in the Brandolini and Green white paper: "The Windows Time Service" on W2K and WXP. Sorry, I don't have W2K3 to play with.

net time /setsntp:<ip-address of server>
net start w32time

I believe that Microsoft generally does NOT reply unless you PAY them.
