BoardBabe Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I have problems getting windows time syncronisation to work. I get could not connect to time server or similar when trying to upate time through time.windows.com or the other standard time server in Windows.I have a Norwegian windows XP, and am behind a NAT router.I can not get NET TIME /SET in command to work either, (cant find timeserver).

BoardBabe Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 Yes, it seems it is set to Automatic and "Started". So that should be running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 (PS. this post's messages is translated from Norwegian Windows XP and may differ from the actual english messages)If i try double click the tray icon for time, and at the internet-time tab hit the "Update now" button the status text will say: please wait while windows syncronises with time.windows.com. After 10-20sec it will say: An error has occured while syncronising with time.windows.com.In the dropdown for time-servers i have:time.windows.comtime.nist.govSame error occures on both servers.I have also tried to update through command with the following command:NET TIME /SETthis only reports: Could not find any time-server.

KAndle Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 net time the way you are running it, needs an internal domain or server to sync with. If you have an internal server then you must specufy the computer name of the server to sync with. \\PDCtype:net time help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Try running this from command line w32tm /resync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAndle Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Are you sure the Windows Time service is enabled & running (try manually stopping & starting to see if you get any warnings) and that you are at least a Power User to the machine? If have normal user access that is not enough to change the time.Then try this... You may need to find a Time Server in Norway I do not know.The syntax for w32tm & net time isnet time /setsntp:time.nist.govnet time /querysntpw32tm /resyncyou must set the sntp server before running w32tm /resync.the net time /querysntp will verify if you have one set.are you getting any new errors with any of the given suggestions?

BoardBabe Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thanks for helping me out here!Still nothing though. Triedto restart the "Windows Time" service, but no errors. seems to run fine...net time /setsntp:time.nist.govnet time /querysntpthose work fine however w32tm /resync gives status for a while that it is "sending command and waiting for resync..." and then: "The computer was not resynced because no timedata was available".

KAndle Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I've attached my .reg file for the Windows Time service. My Windows is installed on D:. You will have to edit the DLLName Keys which appear twice. Change D to C and if your Windows directory is not Windows fix that too. Make sure you backup your existing key in case there is a locality problem and you to switch back. If you need more specific instructions let me know.WindowsTimeRegKeys.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
