Synchronize time with external NTP server on Windows Server

-
UDP 123 port (in- and outbound) on your (corporate) firewall, check with Portquery to find the UDP/TCP listening state.
  1. First, locate your PDC Server. Open the command prompt and type: C:>netdom /query fsmo
  2. Log in to your PDC Server and open the command prompt.
  3. Stop the W32Time service: C:>net stop w32time
  4. Configure the external time sources, type: C:> w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:”0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org”
  5. Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. Type: C:>w32tm /config /reliable:yes
  6. Start the w32time service: C:>net start w32time
  7. The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. You can check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: C:>w32tm /query /configuration
  8. Check the Event Viewer for any errors.

Quick Reference: Troubleshooting Netlogon Error Codes ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ January 28, 2013   by  Mark Morowczynski [MSFT]   //   24 Comments 0 0 Hi this is Brandon Wilson and today I will be providing you with a quick reference for troubleshooting Netlogon error codes. I say “quick reference” very loosely here, because this is one of those sticky subjects that can easily expand into many more areas and become a very long discussion. So, I’m going to do my best to focus on just the codes and possible solutions for the error codes that are more common to see. Anyone who has dealt with some of these issues knows that some of these outlined areas can lead to huge revenue loss for a business, or at the very least an annoying authentication prompt J I welcome you to leave comments and questions, or suggestions for articles that you as the reader would be interested in seeing us do on AskPFE Platforms ( http://blogs.tech...

If you install multiple instances of a service on computers throughout a forest, each instance must have its own SPN. A given service instance can have multiple SPNs if there are multiple names that clients might use for authentication. For example, an SPN always includes the name of the host computer on which the service instance is running, so a service instance might register an SPN for each name or alias of its host. ↑  Return to T...
