we are currently using a temporary Windows 2003 Server as a domain controller but due to a budget issue we are still waiting for an approval inorder to do a migration to the latest OS server.

We are facing since few days a problem when loggging off the server the time stays at the moment we logged off and wont move forward normally.

I was able to find out an error under the event logs showing this message:

Event Type: Error Event Source: W32Time Event Category: None Event ID: 29 Date: 1/25/2018 Time: 11:00:37 AM User: N/A Computer: SERVER1 Description: The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 60 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I did some research and tried to cmd commands that were resetting the w32tm service but none of them worked. Has anyone a professional suggestion and knows what happened because im sure this is more a software/os problem.

Thank you

  • I went throgh this blog blogs.technet.microsoft.com/nepapfe/2013/03/01/… I also added one of these time servers listed here cs.cmu.edu/~help/networking/ntp.html with the command w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:timeserver /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update but when logging off the time stays there. Clients are also affected by this problem.

  • Is this server a virtual machine? If so, what virtualization platform/product are you using?

  • Is the server allowed to connect to Internet NTPs? If yes, stop win32tm and use w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.de.pool.ntp.org,0x1 pool.ntp.org,0x1(See here: ugg.li/…)
