configuring a time server.

[Duran]

Hello,

I hope somebody our there can help me. I am following this article

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042

but I seem to be having a bit of trouble with steps 4 and 5. I am not absolutely sure what to type in on 4 (I have literally typed the word Peers and nothing else), and when I try to type in TimeInSeconds at step five, it wont let me type it in.

Does anybody out there know why I might be having this trouble? I am doing this on a 2003 Ent server DC (fully SP'd) that holds the PDC Emulator role.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,
D.

Sorry, slight correction on my post, I have typed time.windows.com,0x1 in at step 4.

Hello,

It tops up this still isnt working out. Here is the full picture, we had a time server configured on our network, but I moved the PDC Emulator on to another server, which then prevented all the PC's on the network finding it. So I went online and configured another time server on the DC that now holds the PDC emulator role.

I think I need to stop the previous machine (still a DC) from trying to be the NTP server. Shall I just disable the service?

What could be preventing the clients from finding the new NTP server?

Any help much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
D.
