Hi all,
I got a problem recently of user not logging in.After a
through search on my network i could detect that time
sync. between my PDC emultor and clients where more than
5 mints. which was causing the problem.I rectified it.But
my query is why this event of time not sync. with
clients not registered in the event log.
Goodday all
 
Your question should be why aren't the clients synced? You should check to make
sure that the sntp settings on the client are correct. They shouldn't be
pointing at any specific sntp server and shouldn't be running any third party
time sync software.

To verify what settings they are using for the Windows Time Service run the
following command

net time /querysntp


The output should be

This computer is not currently configured to use a specific SNTP server.

If it is anything else, then you need to run the command

net time /setsntp

on the clients. The only machines that should be taking time from an external
source are any machines that could become the PDC of the forest root domain. All
other machines in the forest will indirectly sync with that machine.
