I recently upgraded from a windows 2000 to a 2003 one forest one domain,
domain and have 8 sites. Four US sites and four overseas sites. I found
out by accident that if I do a net time command from a client at any
site it returns the time from our Bangkok (non PDC emulator) domain
controller. If the Bangkok domain controller is unavailable it hits the
next domain controller in alphabetical order. I have the PDC emulator
pointed to two internal time sync appliances on our network by ip
address separated by a space. After replacing a leased domain
controller, I noticed the default installation of a domain controller
creates a registry setting for the ntpserver under w32time\parameters
for time.windows.com. Isn't this going outside the domain for the time?
Has anyone had this issue and if so what should the registry settings be
for the other domain controllers on the domain? Will that take care of
the net time issue? I haven't noticed any issues on the domain, but
assume that I will at some point if I don't get the net time command to
return time from a domain controller in the same site as the client.
