Windows Time Services fails to start on Windows Vista

The Windows Time service fails to start on Windows Vista. When attempting
to start manually via services.msc the following error appears:

---------------------------
Windows could not start the Windows Time service on Local Computer.



Error 1792: An attempt was made to logon, but the network logon service was
not started.


This occurs on both an Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate running in a
Windows 2003 R2 native Active Directory domain. All other domain
functionality is fine (Kerberos, LDAP) and the computers are able to join
the domain and receive GPO updates. However no time synching is done
because time service is not running on these Vista clients. All XP and 2003
clients have Windows Time Service running.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

When connected to a domain you do not get your time through a Windows Time
server. You get it through the domain server so that all computers connected
are synchronized.

I have the same problem and am not running through a domain. How can I
have my clock set through a time server?

1. You need an "always on" internet connection to do the following. Or,
you have to log on to the internet if you are using a modem.

2. Right click on the clock. Go to adjust Date/Time

3. Click on Internet Time

4. Click on "Change Settings"

5. Click on "Update Now"

Did it adjust the time?

If not, try a different time server. There are five to choose from, by
default - unless you add more.

I don't even show the "Internet Time" option on that screen. This
sounds like something is missing. I'd welcome your help.

Thanks,

Jim, are you in the US? Chris Dixon that was having this problem was doesn't
change the default values to something that is based on the country selected.
I am also running Home Premium and once I followed Richard Urbans's
directions, mine has worked just fine., although I had to get away from
time.windows.com. This link will show you servers in other countries is that
is your issue. http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html

Sounds like the firewall could be preventing the connection. Do you have
Time service running? What does the event viewer tell you? Look at System
under Windows logs. I think the time service uses port 123 to try to make the
connection. In Norton, I think that is controlled by Program Control in
Internet Security and Firewall Options. W32tm is a service, so I would look
at/for Microsoft Services and Controllor Application
C:\Windows\system32\services.exe Might be a question for Norton.
