Sync DC's time with external clock?

Sorry, I mean the script to update to the time, should this just be copied
to a batch file and run once a day?

Hello Whiteford,

Normally this is a one time setting if the client's do NOT use the domain
hierarchie automatic, which they normally do. Check in the event viewer to
see if some problems occur.

Did you read my previous post on server names? I don't think you have the
proper name. Once you have this setup there is no script that needs to run
the time service manages itself.

Good, odds are it wasn't a firewall issue since you would be pulling the
time as opposed to the ntp server pushing the time to you.

Glad you got it all worked out.
