How can I syncronize a non-domain server to a domain-controller's clock?

  • 772

Is it possible to configure a Windows Server 2000 OS to synchronize it's clock to a domain controller if it's not on the domain? If so, how would I go about doing that?

Just to be clear:

  • I can't join the machine to the domain.
  • The Windows Time service is running on the Server 2000 box.
  • All other servers and workstations properly sync their time to the domain controller already.

    This should do the trick:

  2. NET TIME \\servername /SET (where servername is a DC)

  3. This command works, but if you're not yet joined to the domain, you need to put in an IP address in place of "servername".
