Two ways to set the time to the PDC emulator
Using w32tm:
To sync time:
Go to the PDC emulator role for the forest, open a cmd prompt and type
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update where peers are the IP address of time servers. If you have time servers for other network equipment use those.
Then type:
Net stop w32time & net start w32time
Then, on the other DCs open a cmd prompt and type:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
Net stop w32time & net start w32time
OR
VBScript:
This VBS script will allow you to set the time on a local machine to the official Windows 2003 Server domain time by promoting you for the PDC Emulator name.
The script can also be used to run in a scheduled task for troublesome machines.
VBS Script:
strPdcEmulator = InputBox ("Enter Your PDC Emulator Name")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objcmnd = "Cmd /C Net Time \\" & strPdcEmulator & " /Set /y"
WshShell.Run(objcmnd)
MsgBox "Done"
