Timer service

Is there any way in AD to define which server is the
authoritative time server, and then tell all the other
servers to stop responding to time synchronization
requests? I have a DC that we can't connect to the network
because it refuses to stop responding to time requests,
and then the other DC's stop letting those clients
authenticate.

I have changed the settings in the registry, that define
the time service settings for the local machine, to say
that the machine is not reliable, and does not act as a
time service. However it continues to respond to time
requests.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Devin
 
Please take a look at the following article:
216734 How to Configure an Authoritative Time Server in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216734

By default the PDC will be the server all other DCs synchronize time from.
NOTE: Administrators can also configure an internal time server as
authoritative by using the "net time" command. If the
administrator directs the command to the operations master, it may be
necessary to reboot the server for the changes to take effect.
