I have 2003 DC setup as a GC, DNS and FSMO holder. It running the time
service for the domain. The old NTP server was Firewall appliance and that
function has been moved, so the time service is loggings errors because it
can't sync. I've gone in to the registry and changed the NTP address to the
IP of MS time server 207.46.x.x. Anyway, each morning I come back to work
and the IP address has reverted to the original address. I'm at my wits end.
I read numerous docs on this process and gone through the steps several
times but the IP keeps changing. There are no GP settings that I could find
that could be resetting this address. I really need help here or I'm in big
trouble.
 
Re: Server 2003 Time Server - NTP address keep reverting.

Hello Keloid,

On the PDCEmulator run:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com)
or an ip address from a reliable time source.

Here you can find some of them:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/

Best regards

Re: Server 2003 Time Server - NTP address keep reverting.

I'm positive I ran that command once already, but I did run this morning and
I'll know tomorrow. Thank you for the input.
