Hello, is that server a DC with the PDCEmulator FSMO? "netdom query fsmo" without the quotes in an elevated command prompt will show you. If not please describe the domain setup, amount of DCs, sites etc. Normally there is no need for a batch file except you experience problems with time sync. More details in: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/06/27/time-configuration-in-a-windows-domain.aspx Are this machines VMs or physical computers?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi, I've a windows server 2008 with the following error in the log system: Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Time-Service Date: 29/09/2011 7:11:53 Event ID: 34 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: server01 Description: The time service has detected that the system time needs to be changed by +7199 seconds. The time service will not change the system time by more than +1800 seconds. Verify that your time and time zone are correct, and that the time source hora.roa.es (ntp.m|0x0|0.0.0.0:123->150.214.94.5:123) is working properly. Thanks in advance. Today this server has shutdown due to a problem with the power outage. I've this bat to synchronize the time: @echo off w32tm /stripchart /computer:hora.roa.es /samples:5 /dataonly w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:hora.roa.es /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update w32tm /resync echo. Pause But in this server the sript didn't worked. I think there's a problem with the UTC time somewhere in the server because the error description says that the time must be changed 7199 second, just two hours. Can anybody help me to solve the problem? Regards.

Thanks for your answer, this server (server1) is DC and there's another DC (server2) in the domain. Both are physical computers. Running this command shows the following: Schema master server2 Domain naming master server2 PDC server2 RID pool manager server1 Infrastructure master server2 The server2 synchronize correctly when I run the script...

Hello, the problem is the command, if you read my article the DC having the PDCEmulator FSMO is the time source for the domain NONE else. ONLY this DC has to sync with an external time source. All other DCs sync with the PDCEmulator FSMO DC automatically and the rest of the domain machines with an available DC, chosen during the DCLocator process. So do NOT use the command on server1 and reset the time service on server one to default, so the next time it used the domain hierarchie.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Thanks a lot. Regards.

Thanks a lot Meinolf, and is it possible to know if it synchronize correctly with server2? Regards.

Hello, the event viewer will show you the correct sync or contains errors on server2.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi, in the server1 the sinchronization worked fine yesterday at 15:00:29 by the last time and, in the server2 the sinchronization with the hora.roa.es was at 9:11:32, yesterday. Apparently all the hierarchy is sinchronize. My doubt is if the parameter in the servers are well-defined(according with this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884776). For example, in the server2 (PDCEmulator FSMO) I have the following: MaxPosPhaseCorrection = 2a300 MaxNegPhaseCorrection = 2a300 MaxPollInterval = a And in the server1: MaxPosPhaseCorrection = 2a300 MaxNegPhaseCorrection = 2a300 Must I change these values? Perhaps the problem was that takes long before the sinchronization between the servers. Thanks a lot.

Hello, there is no need to change something from the default registry settings. And if you reset the time settings this should also go back to the default. Personal i never used the registry in 10 years to change something for the domain. The question is do you need the large time offset settings really? Then configure it.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
