Question : Configure Server 2003 DC to Synchronize with Internet Time
I have a small Windows 2003 Network with just a single Server. In the Event viewer I keep seeing this message but I can't seem to get this corrected. Could anyone tell me the easiest way to get my DC to synchonize with an internet time source? The time is drifting off and the clients computers are displaying the wrong time:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W32Time
Event Category: None
Event ID: 12
Date: 7/29/2010
Time: 4:17:26 PM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
Time Provider NtpClient: This machine is configured to use the domain hierarchy to determine its time source, but it is the PDC emulator for the domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain hierarchy to use as a time source. It is recommended that you either configure a reliable time service in the root domain, or manually configure the PDC to synchronize with an external time source. Otherwise, this machine will function as the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy. If an external time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable the NtpClient.
