Every 45 minutes I get an Event ID 11 followed by an Event ID in my Event Viewer logs. ID 11 says "The NTP server didn't respond" and ID 31 says "Attempt to set date prior to 1995 aborted" I can ping my time servers with no problems and the KB was not much help. Any ideas? Thanks.

Greetings,

According to Microsoft article Q232209,

Windows uses a new time synchronization service to synchronize the date and time of computers on a Windows-based network. Synchronized time is critical in Windows because the default authentication protocol (Kerberos version 5) uses workstation time as part of the authentication ticket generation process. The Windows Time Synchronization service (W32Time) is a fully compliant implementation of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) as detailed in IETF RFC 1769 viewable at the following Web site:

Good luck,
