LKBEN10608: Time service problems after changing the pdc emulator role to a different system
Symptom
The domain controller does not synchronise its time as ist should be
Cause
The domain controller was the pdc emulator and the role has been moved
Solution
After you transfer the role to a different system, you have to configure the old system so it will get its time from the domain hierarchy. You need to be administrator to make these changes. Type the following command in a command line:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /reliable:no /update
The domhier stands for the domain hierarchy!
After the change you have to restart the service. You can do this with "net stop w32time" followed by "net start w32time".
Now everything should be ok again.
