Hello

I am using a GPS Black Box as our timeserver on our
network. All switches and routers can synchronise with it,
however when I run:

net time /setsntp:10.136.128.5

The command says that it has been successful however when
I do the:

net time

It says that it can't not locate a time server.

I can ping the NTP server no problem.

Has anybody got any suggestions please.

The same problem also occurs on Windows 2003 machine.

Many thanks

Unable to Locate Time Server

Receiving this message does not mean that the time service is not
synchronizing time. To verify that the time service is synchronizing time at
the command prompt, type:

w32tm /v /once /test

This error message can also occur when the time service was not stopped
before the configuration change was made. You must:
net stop W32Time (stop the W32Time service)
net time /setsntp
net start W32Time (restart the service)
 
Thank you.

Although the w32tm /v /once /test command didn't work. I
stopped the service set the time and restarted the machine
and it appears fine now.
