AD Users and Computers

[djhath]

I have Windows 2000 Domain tools (adminpak.msi) installed on my W2k Pro machine. When I open up AD Users and Computers, the server name next to the AD Users and Computers (server.domain.com) is not the Primary Domain Controller, but a backup domain controller.

Another thing I notice is when polling the authoritative time server (w32time) using the "net time /domain" command, it gives a response from the same backup domain controller.

I want to make the PDC the authoritative time server and make sure that the PDC server is the name that hsows up next to the AD Users and Computers inside that console.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

As far as the Time server, have you tried the command NET TIME /SETSNTP:<servername>? Are you in a Win2k Domain? There is no PDC or BDC in Win2k, unless you are referring to the DC holding the FSMO roles?

Thanks,
