Hello folks.I want to impliment the authoritative time server in compliance to pcdiss standard.I have my the enviroment as follows.A Dc running server 2008r2 and application servers runing server 2012 and 2008r2.I want to make a member server on dmz as the time source for the Server with PDC emulator role.the challenge is I am simulating this on a virtual enviroment using vmware.after using the following commands on the pdc
C:\\>net stop w32time
Configure the external time sources, type: C:\\> w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:adressofserver on dmz
Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. Type: C:\\>w32tm /config /reliable:yes.I have this same command on the server on dmz with the exception of this commandC:\\>w32tm /config /reliable:yes
The commands run sucessfully but when I run the command w32tm /query source,I get the result"free-running System Clock".even after running the command w32tm /resync /rediscover.
As I didn't get the desired result,I enabled the ntp server setting on the local group policy on the server on the dmz. And set the ntp client setting on the pdc emulator role.
Pls any ideas on fixing the problem and getting the pdc emulator to sync with the server to be on dmz?thank you in advance.
