Internet Time Server

Sometimes you may find out that your Server Time is not Syncing and that the "Windows Time" in Services has been disabled, this could off been cause by a number of issues.

Firstly ensure that you change the "Windows Time" Services from "Disabled" to "Automatic"

Check what "Internet Time Server" your Server is running by doing the following;

NET TIME /QUERY

Hopefully, you get a result as shown below;

The current SNTP value is: time.windows.com,0x1

Ensure that the "NTP" Port is open in your Router or Firewall.

Now you need to do the following;

1. net stop w32time

2. net start w32time

3. w32tm /resync

If successful on the last command you will be displayed "The command Completed Successfully", if not check the Event Logs.
