Hi All I have two Windows 2003 DCs in my environment, and a few member servers.  I am located in Barbados.  I am having issues synching my servers and workstations clocks with the DC.  I have installed Galleon time zone clock on one of the DCs and have that server located in the La Paz time zone.  One of the issues I am having is that our office works heavily with Canadian persons and when meeting requests are sent at this time of year the time scheduled is always an issue. How can this be resolved. In addition how do I set the additional DC, member servers and workstations to synch with the time and zone on the server What zone should I set the servers and workstations in.

Hello, the DC with the PDCEmulator FSMO is the domain time master, all other DCs sync with it and the rest of the domain machines sync with an available DC. For details how to configure the PDCEmulator and to make sure the domain members use the correct domain time see my blog for starting: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/06/27/time-configuration-in-a-windows-domain.aspxBest regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

To confirm as it relates to the time zone, should this be set manually at each server and users computer. how do I handle the daylight savings aspect? Thanks

Hello, DCs use UTC for time updates and not specific zones configured on the machine, that's just optical for the logged on user. For time zone updates see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2158563Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

is there a script or a setting that i can apply in the gpo which would allow me to force all users to sync with the DC running the PDCemulator role. To confirm the other DCs on the network would be considered clients to the DC running the role.

Hello, create a startup script that contains: ---------------------------------- w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update net stop w32time net start w32time ----------------------------------Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
