w32time + PDC + External time source = errors + warnings

Sponsored Links

Hi,

I can't synchronize my Windows 2003 server (a domain controller) with an
external time server.

I have try a lot of article found on the web + Microsoft KB
but I continue to have the error:
Sending resync command to local computer...
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

I have an ISA server between my PDC and the web, but the UDP 123 port is
opened.
I don't see any errors in ISA Server.
And I think that my win2003 server don't really try to access the external
time server because I don't see any connection

what can I do/test?

thanks.
Jerome.

Try this...run

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:PeerList
(where Peerlist is a comma separated list of DNS, or IP Addresses for the
time servers)

Then run

w32tm /config /update

Check your event log for errors.

Did you restart the w32tm service?

Does it work from an XP Workstation???

I have allready try all of these points.

on an XP station there is no error, but the time is not changed to the time
serve time.
I'm using the atomic clock program to validate this, and this tool works
fine.

my XP station now has the right time using this atomic clock program, and I
have synchonized my PDC server with my XP station clock:
net time \\station /set

but any w32tm /resync or other command works corretly!!!!
