Hello
After setting the time on the FSMO DC in a 2003 AD network of 3 DCs and 30
workstations, how long does it take to sync entire network. Do I need to
run any other commands?

Thanks

CARl

Hello CNews,

Important is that the time source is the PDCEmulator. Did you configure it
to use an external time source or just set the time on it? To configure it
for an external time source you can use this:

PDCEmulator:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlisteers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com)
or an ip address from a reliable time source.

Here you can find some of them:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/


To configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:

net stop w32time

net start w32time

Best regards
