I see the following error message, frequently, when I go into computer
management/system tools/system:
Win32Time
Event ID 29
The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more
time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No
attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no
source of accurate time.
or,
Win32Time
Event ID 17
Time Provider NtpClient: An error occurred during DNS lookup of the manually
configured peer 'time.windows.com,0x1'. NtpClient will try the DNS lookup
again in 15 minutes. The error was: A socket operation was attempted to an
unreachable host. (0x80072751)
The solution came up as the following, but not sure how to go about doing
any of the actions listed below:
a.. Verify that the local computer is capable of contacting the desired
source. In most cases, a simple connectivity test such as "ping" is
adequate.
a.. Confirm that Windows Time Service (or other NTP Time Service) is
running and available on the source system.
a.. If you are using a manually configured peer, such as time.windows.com,
verify that the name is typed correctly and that the system is available.
a.. Confirm that there are no network devices that block traffic on port
123 between the local computer and the time source.
Thanks for any assistance.
