I've noticed that two domain controllers are unable to synchronize and I think it's because one of the servers is unable to start the Windows Time Service. None of the accounts are able to synchronize!

When I type:
net start w32time

I get back:
System error 2 has occurred.

The system cannot find the file specified.

----
Anyone know what this could be?

Thanks!

Okay. So this is weird.

In my services, W32Time on the server not working says the path the executable is:

c:\winnt\system32\W32Time.exe
(which doesn't exist)

the server that is functioning says this:
d:\winnt\system32\services.exe
 
The one using W32Time.exe is an upgrade from Windows NT 4, isn't it...
 
Ah yes. I see the problem now. I downloaded the W32Time from Microsoft's FTP site - seems to work, though it's still not synchronizing users between the two servers. I guess the problem is larger than I thought.
