Time

[Rob]

I have 2 DCs. I configured the DC which detains FSMO
roles to become the Time server and synchronize itsef
with Internet server. All the network PCs including the
2 DCs syschronize withe the other DC which does not
detain the FSMO roles. How can my clients synchronize
with the right Server ? I have looked at this KB

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=216734

But when I use "net time" on a client, it still points to
the incorrect DC.


Any ideas please ?

Running net time on a client PC will return the time at the DC in your
domain that comes first alphabetically so you may not even have a problem,
net time output is a bit of a red herring. Domain members should get their
time automatically from the authenticating DC and other DC's will get the
time from the PDC Emulator.

Thank you Simon.

I configued DC which detains FSMO roles as the Time
server, is there a way to make my clients synchronize
their time with this DC ?

Are you suggesting that I have no problem in relation to t

This time sync should happen automatically so you shouldn't normally need to
do a manual sync. Are you noticing a difference in time between the clients
and the domain controllers?
To manually sync a client to a server you can use this command. net time
/setsntp:<ip of server>
