Hello, good day!

I'm setting up a Windows 2000 Server for testing here. I have it set up as Active Directory Domain Controller w/ DNS server on it. I always get this annoying error on the System Log of the Event Viewer:

w32time - Error - event ID :62

"This machine is a PDC at the root of the forest. Configure to sync from External time source using the net command, 'net time /setsntp:<server name>'."

Do you know of any source of information or guideline that explains what to do to solve this problem?

Thx

Hi, it wasn't too hard to solve after all.

On the machine in question I opened the Command window and typed:
"net time /setsntp:time.chu.nrc.ca"

I typed <enter> and with that the new time server on my PDC was set and saved.

I rebooted the machine and the time was corrected and -most importantly- the error in the Event View was gone.

There is a list of available Internet Time Servers here:

Ping to the one you want to choose first, to make sure it is really available.
