W32time Synchronization

[Markybwoy]

Hi,

Please help!
I've just added a W2k server to our domain and it is trying to sync times with the PDC which is an NT box. I get the following in the Error Log:

'Because of repeated network problems, the time service has not been able to find a domain controller to synchronize with for a long time. To reduce network traffic, the time service will wait 960 minutes before trying again. No synchronization will take place during this interval, even if network connectivity is restored. Accumulated time errors may cause certain network operations to fail. To tell the time service that network connectivity has been restored and that it should resynchronize, execute "w32tm /s" from the command line. '

I've tried executing the w32tim /s command line but nothing happens! Has anyone experienced or resolved this issue before?

Any replies greatly fully received!

Regards,
M

Patty,

Nah the link didn't take me to the site - sorry for not making myself very clear!
Anyways, the long and the short of it is I've sussed by using: 'NET TIME \\<PDC> /SET /Y' at the command prompt

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Mark
