Re: Using external NTP time source to set time on W2k3 svr in a do
Hello dbright19,
Because all computers in a domain belongs to the time on the PDCEmulator
it can not use a domain member as time server. The x.x.x.22 is domain internal.
On the PDCEmulator you have to configure to an domain EXTERNAL time server.
See this one:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786897.aspx
Or see "Configuring the Windows Time service to use an internal hardware
clock":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042
In a domain the PDCEmulator is the time source, all DC's sync with it and
all member servers and workstations sync with one available DC, that's the
way in a domain.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
