Windows NTP server time.windows.com

Question

Hi all!

Since 5 days ago we started to receive this error:

Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from manually configured peer time.windows.com,0x8 after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer with this DNS name. The error was: The peer is unreachable.

Event id: 47

We have like 12 servers on one location, all of them reporting this issue.
On other location, different ISP, 1 server same thing.
On third location, different COUNTRY, different ISP, same error.

Can someone take a look at NTP / routing or whatever might be wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I mean yeah, if I change server to something else it does work and errors stop.

I just want to report that time.windows.com is not working OK and to ask others if they do have the same issue...

Answer 2

Yeah, I also have it like this....

But then it fails.
Strange is that I have this error on 3 locations across 2 countries...

Answer 3

Yes that error started 5 days ago and its still occuring...

Answer 4

Naah tried it to reset its the same...
Time is not off, maybe tops 2 seconds

Most probably its international routing issue since its happening on 3 locations one of them beeing in other country...
Never happened before...

Also those 3 locations are not from same company, they use different isps, antivirus and firewall appliances...

I think ppl are having issues but dont notice since 2/10 sync succeeds...

Answer 5

Sure, when I have valid answer I will gladly close it.
