Hello, Is your PDC Emulator available? If yes then, by default, your client computers will sync time with it. Here, it is recommended to make your PDC Emulator sync time with a reliable NTP Server. To configure an NTP client: http://www.ehow.com/how_5981545_configure-windows-ntp-client.html For client computers, make sure that in HKLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ W32Time\ Parameters\ the value of the "Type" key is equal to "NT5DS".

1. Make sure first that the server is updating time correctly. Restart service Windows Time on the domain controller that has FSMO roles ( or at least PDC em.). In the System Event log there should be a record confirming that the DC has contacted successfully the external time reference server. Prerequisite is open UDP 123 in firewall. 2. Make sure that the time difference between server and client is within 300s window. This is prerequisite for clients to function properly in Active Directory (Kerberos limit) 3. Let client computers to update time automatically. They update time from domain controller (PDC emulator)
