Hi all,

I have problem with my Primary Domain Controller retrieving the time from our external time server. This has worked in the past and I wonder if the problem is caused by having some Windows Server 2008 DC on the network as well now?

The domain ntp server is no longer retrieving the time from our ntp server. I have checked the firewall logs at the ntp protocol can get through and is logged when it tries to communicate.

I have tried the commands below but this didnt fix the problem.

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time

net time /setsntp: timeservername
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:MANUAL /manualpeerlist: timeservername
net stop w32time
net start w32time


w32tm /resync /rediscover

And then I get the error message "The computer did not resync because no time data was available" and the time is still out by 2 minutes.

I have checked GPO settings and they are set as described here http://kbalertz.com/929276/Error-message-command-synchronize-Windows-Server-Windows-external-computer-resync-because.aspx and havent changed anyway.

I have also checked on there external server I am trying to get the time from and the AnnounceFlags registry key is set to 5.

A value of 5 means 0×04 + 0×01. In common words “Always time server” + Always reliable time server”.

Any bright ideas all?
