I had configure NTP in the root domain. But 2 child domain time is not sync
with the root.
What could be the cause?

All machines are installed with Windows 2003 server o/s.
 
Hi William,

From your mail I understand that you have problem in doing a time sync
between the 2 Child domain and the root domain whihc has been configured as
Tiem server for your domain. I want you to check the following.
1) Check whether the windows time service is running in the Child Domain
Controller. By default this service is set to automatic still check whether
its started.
2) Is the child domains are behind firewalls? If its behind firewall check
whether the udp port 123 is opened for NTP and SNTP protocols to pass thro.
3) Try to resync the time with the command w32tm /resync and it will try to
resync and thro up error adn try to debug with that error.
4) As of now do you get any event error in any of the domain controllers.
5) You can also run Microsoft Product Support's Reporting Tools in the DC's
to find out any error from it you get this tool from the following website
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=CEBF3C7C-7CA5-408F-
88B7-F9C79B7306C0&displaylang=en
6) But even before running the MPS report I suggest you to check the Event
log to findout any error in the event log.

Please revert back if you have any queries

With regards
Sukar
