Got the Time?

  • Artykuł

A customer recently had a question about how to time sync two XPe machines in a workgroup environment. The issue was that the Time Sync service would run but the time would never synchronize. Here is what is needed.

Add the Time Service Core and Time Service Executable to your XPe runtimes. Decide which of the runtimes is going to be the "XPe server". The XPe server needs to be setup as an “authoritative time server” or "locally reliable time source". This link explains how to accomplish this task using either it’s local clock or an NTP server.

The client XPe needs to run this command (after it has gone through FBA):

W32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<xpe_tm_server_ip_addr> /syncfromflags:manual /update

Resynchronization with the server would be this command:

W32tm /resync

(for additional w32tm parameters see this link)

 This link provides additional information on how Windows Time Service works, both in a workgroup environment or a domain environment. Time sync works on both winlogon and minlogon runtimes.
