How to configure an authoritative time server in Windows Server

To configure an internal time server to synchronize with an external time source,
use one of the following methods:

Automatically configure the Windows Time service

To fix this problem automatically, click the Download button. In the File Download dialog box, select Runor Open, and then follow the steps in the easy fix wizard.
  • When you run the easy fix solution to configure an external time source you will need to
    specify the name of your NTP server. The easy fix solution will have the placeholder names
    of Server1 and Server2. Replace these placeholder names with the name of your NTP
    server followed by “,0x1”. i.e SRV1.Contoso.com,0x1. You do not have to specify more
    than one server but it is recommended to do so for redundancy. If you have multiple entries
    they must be separated by a space.
  • The unit of time for SpecialPollInterval,MaxPosPhaseCorrectionand MaxNegPhaseCorrection settings is in seconds.
  • This wizard may be in English only. However, the automatic fix also works for other language versions of Windows.
  • If you’re not on the computer that has the problem, save the easy fix solution to a flash
    drive or a CD, and then run it on the computer that has the problem.

Manually configure the Windows Time service

To configure an internal time server to synchronize with an external time source, follow these steps:
  1. Change the server type to NTP. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Select Start > Run, type regedit, and then select OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\
      Parameters\Type
    3. In the pane on the right, right-click Type, and then select Modify.
    4. In Edit Value, type NTP in the Value data box, and then select OK.
  2. Set AnnounceFlags to 5. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\
      Config\AnnounceFlags
    2. In the pane on the right, right-click AnnounceFlags, and then select Modify.
    3. In Edit DWORD Value, type 5 in the Value data box, and then select OK.

       Notes
      • If an authoritative time server that is configured to use an AnnounceFlag value of
        0x5 does not synchronize with an upstream time server, a client server may not correctly synchronize with the authoritative time server when the time
        synchronization between the authoritative time server and the upstream time
        server resumes. Therefore, if you have a poor network connection or other
        concerns that may cause time synchronization failure of the authoritative server
         to an upstream server, set the AnnounceFlag value to 0xA instead of to 0x5.

         
      • If an authoritative time server that is configured to use an AnnounceFlag value
        of 0x5 and to synchronize with an upstream time server at a fixed interval that is specified in SpecialPollInterval, a client server may not correctly synchronize with
        the authoritative time server after the authoritative time server restarts. Therefore,
        if you configure your authoritative time server to synchronize with an upstream
        NTP server at a fixed interval that is specified in SpecialPollInterval, set the AnnounceFlag value to 0xA instead of 0x5.
  3. Enable NTPServer. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\
      TimeProviders\NtpServer
    2. In the pane on the right, right-click Enabled, and then select Modify.
    3. In Edit DWORD Value, type 1 in the Value data box, and then select OK.
  4. Specify the time sources. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\
      Parameters
    2. In the pane on the right, right-click NtpServer, and then select Modify.
    3. In Edit Value, type Peers in the Value data box, and then select OK.

      Information icon
       Note 
      Peers is a placeholder for a space-delimited list of peers from which
      your computer obtains time stamps. Each DNS name that is listed must be unique.
      You must append ,0x1 to the end of each DNS name. If you do not append ,0x1 to
      the end of each DNS name, the changes that you make in step 5 will not take effect.
  5. Configure the time correction settings. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\
      Config\MaxPosPhaseCorrection
    2. In the pane on the right, right-click MaxPosPhaseCorrection, and then select Modify.
    3. In Edit DWORD Value, click to select Decimal in the Base box.
    4. In Edit DWORD Value, type TimeInSeconds in the Value data box, and then select OK.

      Information icon
       Note
      • TimeInSeconds is a placeholder for a reasonable value, such as 1 hour (3600)
        or 30 minutes (1800). The value that you select will depend on the poll interval, network condition, and external time source. 
      • The default value of MaxPosPhaseCorrection is 48 hours in Windows Server 2008
        R2 or later.
    5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\
      Config\MaxNegPhaseCorrection
    6. In the pane on the right, right-click MaxNegPhaseCorrection, and then select Modify.
    7. In Edit DWORD Value, click to select Decimal in the Base box.
    8. In Edit DWORD Value, type TimeInSeconds in the Value data box, and then select OK.

      Information icon
       Note
      • TimeInSeconds is a placeholder for a reasonable value, such as 1 hour (3600)
        or 30 minutes (1800). The value that you select will depend on the poll interval, network condition, and external time source. 
      • The default value of MaxNegPhaseCorrection is 48 hours in Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.
  6. Close Registry Editor.
  7. At the command prompt, type the following command to restart the Windows Time service,
    and then press Enter:
    net stop w32time && net start w32time

Troubleshooting


For the Windows Time service to function correctly, the networking infrastructure must function
correctly. The most common problems that affect the Windows Time service include the following:
  • There is a problem with TCP/IP connectivity, such as a dead gateway.
  • The Name Resolution service is not working correctly.
  • The network is experiencing high volume delays, especially when synchronization
    occurs over high-latency wide area network (WAN) links.
  • The Windows Time service is trying to synchronize with inaccurate time sources.
We recommend that you use the Netdiag.exe utility to troubleshoot network-related issues.
Netdiag.exe is part of the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools package. See Tools Help for
a complete list of command-line parameters that you can use with Netdiag.exe. If your problem
is still not solved, you can turn on the Windows Time service debug log. Because the debug
log can contain very detailed information, we recommend that you contact Microsoft Customer
Support Services when you turn on the Windows Time service debug log.

For a complete list of Microsoft Customer Support Services telephone numbers and information
about support costs, go to the Contact Microsoft website.

 Note In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support calls may be canceled
if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific update will resolve your problem.
The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify
for the specific update in question. WAZOO.



More Information


Windows Server includes W32Time, the Time Service tool that is required by the Kerberos
authentication protocol. The Windows Time service makes sure that all computers in an
organization that are running the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating system or later
versions use a common time.

To guarantee appropriate common time usage, the Windows Time service uses a hierarchical
relationship that controls authority, and the Windows Time service does not allow for loops. By
default, Windows-based computers use the following hierarchy:
  • All client desktop computers nominate the authenticating domain controller as their in-bound
    time partner.
  • All member servers follow the same process that client desktop computers follow.
  • All domain controllers in a domain nominate the primary domain controller (PDC) operations
    master as their in-bound time partner.
  • All PDC operations masters follow the hierarchy of domains in the selection of their in-bound
    time partner.
In this hierarchy, the PDC operations master at the root of the forest becomes authoritative for the organization. We highly recommend that you configure the authoritative time server to obtain the
time from a hardware source. When you configure the authoritative time server to sync with an
Internet time source, there is no authentication. We also recommend that you reduce your time
correction settings for your servers and stand-alone clients. These recommendations provide more accuracy and security to your domain.
