Time synchronization

[nemo]

Hi,

Anyone know way how to enforce time synchronization (automatic, not using
net time /domain /set /yes ) in Active Directory between clients and PDC ?



I need working example or links which describe really well this topic (what
should I set on server and clients).

I searched some info but it didn't work as I accepted



I set in registry:

On server: W32Time\Parameters

-type NTP

-LocalNTP 1

-ReliableTimeSource 1



On client W32Time\Parameters

-type NTP

-NtpServer IP_Address_Of_PDC

-Period 8640



I need automate synchronization every 2 or 5 minutes. When client change
local time I need that server synchronize time in max 5 minutes.

How to achieve this ?? Is it possible to set time synchronization every 2 or
5 minutes ??





Thanks for help

Why not use Net time and then lock them out of changing the computer clock?

I believe this is done automatically by the domain. Since Kerberos requires
time sync, Windows 2000 and 2003 based domains do this when a computer
joins.

I'm not quite sure why you're having a problem - any PC that logs onto an
Active Directory domain should be using the PDC emulator as its
authoritative time source unless the PDC emulator is not correctly
configured to synchronize to an external time source. Registry settings and
such are not necessary if all is configured correctly.
