W32Time service missing
About 2 weeks after last month's updates, I noticed our server's clocks were off about two minutes.. when I went to services to see if the w32Time services needed to be restarted.. it's missing. When I went into the registry key to see if the links I setup
for a time syncing resource the whole registry key paths were gone...
How do I reinstall the Windows Time component back onto the server? I'm not seeing it under features...
Thanks.

w32tm /register
should do the trick

Hello,
if the w32tm command doesn't help please see here about domain time configuration:

Hello,
which OS version including SP/patch level are you talking about?
Which server roles are installed?
Which error is shown if you run:
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time
in an elevated command prompt?
Which event viewer errors are shown after running the commands from the the source w32time?

Thanks. I already tried the steps you suggested .... and don't ask me why this worked, but I was able to get the time services to start up again by double-clicking W32Time.exe in the Windows/System32 folder...
And I'm still stumped as to how it even disappeared like it did... oh well.. at least I got it back again.. Thanks to all who helped.
