Windows Time Service - Windows Server 2003
6:07 PM EST 11/7/07
I am trying to synchronize the clock on our network. The help for Windows Server 2003 says "When computers are part of a workgroup, you must manually configure Windows Time Service on those computers to use a known accurate time source, either by using special hardware or a time source available on the Internet. Then, all other workgroup computers can be configured manually to synchronize their time with these local time sources" What???????? I tried synchronizing the time on each computer, but get an error when I try to update with the internet. The server will set. Any ideas on how to get workgroup computers to synch with the server?

The easiest thing to do is use the "net time /setsntp:<ntpserver>" command on each of your servers and allow incoming and outgoing UDP port 123 through your firewall.

Run the following command on each of your servers to sync with the US Naval Observatory Time Server:

net time /setsntp:tick.usno.navy.mil

That was good advice. Thank you from Geneva.
