How can I confirm I can access an NTP server

Greetings,

I really would like to see a 593 event showing up in the system log, that to
me would be positive confirmation. I have bounced the time service, done a
w32tm -s (it's a 2000 box), and the /querysntp returns the correct value.
My 11 warnings have stopped, but I would feel better if I got some "positive
feedback" so I know the new time server is actually working for these
servers. On one of my servers, I got a 593 shortly after bouncing the
service, and this one has the Update Rollup for SP4 installed, the other two
servers don't and they don't get the 593 after bouncing the services. I
don't know if this make's a difference. If anyone has any information on
this topic it would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello -,

Do you run a domain environment or are all servers in a workgroup? In a domain
you have to configure the DC with the PDCEmulator FSMO role to sync with
an external time source. Any other DC in the domain will sync with this one
and member servers/clients will sync with one available DC.

Best regards

Yes, it's the PDC emulator of the root domains of two forests. They're the
ones that were complaining.

Hello -,

Ok, but this event id states only that the time was corrected, so it works.

Best regards

Yes but I only got the 593 only on one of the three DC's, I would like to
get one, but I'm not, though I'm not getting the 11 warning.

Hello -,

For the other machines follow this, should add a entry in the event viewer,
but not sure about the id number:

To configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:

net stop w32time


net start w32time
