Windows 2003 Cannot find existing registry key

We a Windows 2003 native domain, and want to set the timeserver to
NIST. However, when we go to Hkey_local_machine\system
\currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters to set the TYPE dword
key: We cannot find it (As local admin, or domain admin). If we try
to create the key, we get a message that the key allready exists - but
we do not see it in regedt32 although we have the ownership of the
w32time & subkeys/values


Has anyone heard of not being able to view existing keys that they
(theoretically) have rights to see?

Thanks
 
Amcdiarm,

If you are just looking to set the SNTP server, you might jsut try doing
this from the command prompt.

NET TIME /SetSNTP:<ServerName>
