Domain – Getting Windows Vista to use our domain server’s time

domaintimewindows-vista

I am in charge of a small domain of 20 or so computers. I recently found how to get the windows XP machines to get their time from our domain controller using this batch file:

call w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

call net stop w32time

call net start w32time

and it worked great.

I tried the same thing on Vista with no success. Any help?

If the computers belong to an Active Directory domain, the Windows Time service configures itself automatically by using the Windows Time service that is available on domain controllers. The Windows Time service configures a domain controller in its domain as a reliable time source and synchronizes itself periodically with this source. You can modify or overwrite these settings, depending on your specific needs.
