Tester

Hello there,
Hoe can I sync up the time of the windows XP Pro and W2K Pro clients,
part of an AD domain?
Users do not have admin privileges.
Thank you, T

Hello Tester,

Time sync in a domain is by default that the PDCEmulator is the domain time
source, all DC's sync with it and member servers and workstations sync with
one available DC. Make sure that port 123 is open when using firewalls.

To configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:
net stop w32time
net start w32time

This can also be run with a startup script.

Best regards

Hi there,
It does not work for W2K Pro machines[w32tm].
RPC returned error 0x6ba when sync-ing with AD DC
Any other ideas? Maybe to try from AD server console to force sync to
the client W2K machines.
Thank you, T

Hi there,
For example I run on a W2K Pro machine to sync with AD controller:
w32tm -s \\server-name and it returns:
RPC to server returned 0x6ba
What useful commands actually run on W2K to sync time with DC?
Plus command w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update does not
work on W2K.
Eventually I managed to synchronize time with tzedit on my W2K
machines on the AD domain.
Thank you, T

Hello Tester,

Run w32tm -s on the machine, this should return "RPC to local server returned
0x0"
