Using Windows XP SP2, we are trying to time sync the computer clock with an external time source.


using regedit, we have changed the registry settings as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054


net stop w32time works sucessfully

net start w32time works sucessfully


w32tm /resync /rediscover returns the following message: the computer did not resync because no time date was available


manual update of time via windows clock dialog box returns message: an error occurred getting the status of the last syncronisation. Element not found.


we can ping the ip address of the external time server


using w32tm /stripchart /dataonly /samples:5 /computer:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx returns valid time differences of +12.43 seconds.


any help would be much appreciated.
