Windows time error

by stephen corrigan . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

Hi There,

I have a group of locked down machines on a Windows 2k3 domain.

They are unable to sync time to the local PDC (returns event ID 36). I feel this is a permissions errors because when I run this script I wrote using admin credentials it works fine! :

@ echo on

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:DOMHIER /update

net stop “w32time”

net start “w32time”

w32tm /resync

PAUSE

I need users to be unable to change the system time but still have the w32time service sync time with the PDC…

I dont want to use a band aid on this and use the script I wrote with elevated permissions, I’d like a more permanent fix!

Thanks,

Stephen
