Hello, I have a windows 2008 x64 server in a domain environment. All FSMO roles are in one server (DC1). I simply want to sync the server time with external source spesifically with windows.com. I believe these are the right commands but I just want to make sure. 1- w32tm /stripchart /computer: time.windows.com /samples:5 /dataonly” 2- Open UDP port 123 for outgoing traffic if needed. 3- "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist: time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update Is there anything else I need to do? Can I do this on DC1. Thanks David Tabib

Hello, see my blog about the domain time configuration http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/06/27/time-configuration-in-a-windows-domain.aspx The DC having the PDCEmulator FSMO is the domain time source, NONE else.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Thanks Meinolf, Last question, if I reboot this server do I need to reenter this command?David Tabib
