Hi, I just installed the W2K server, and activated the Active Directory, then I found out the error in w32time with the eventID62 in the Event Viewer with this description: This machine is a PDC of the domain at the root of the forest. Configure to sync from External time source using the net command, 'net time/setsntp:<servert name>'.
I want to know did I set the Active Directory wrong or what can I do to solve this error code?
thanks
 
You need to provide accurate time to your DC. From the command prompt set an NTP server:

net time /setsntp:time.windows.com

Or point it to another NTP Time Server on the Internet. Your AD installation is probably fine, it just needs an accurate time source.
