Server 2008 R2 windows time

time-synchronizationwindows-server-2008

I'm trying to set the PDC with an external time server (from my ISP) but in the command prompt when I type in:

w32tm /register

W32tm /config /manualpeerlist:""

W32tm /config /reliable:yes

W32tm /config /update

Net stop w32time

Net start w32time

But I always get "The following error occured: Access is denied. (0x8007005)

I tried to do the net stop w32time
and it gives the same access denied error.
I tried to do net start w32time and same error.

I went to the services.msc and windows time is set to automatic start but it is not running.
I go to start it and it gives the error
"windows could not start the windows time service on local computer" so I tried to log it in under the domain admin account… Same message.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you have User Access control on? (you should). If so, did you start your command prompt as administrator?
