Hi,

I have synchronization problems in my windows server who is primay domain controler.
This i am running:

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
Net start w32time
w32tm /config /update /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org" /syncfromflags:MANUAL
w32tm /config /update
net stop w32time && net start w32time
w32tm /resync /rediscover

And last command give my this error

the computer did not resync because no time data was available

.

I check the GPOs, Restart the service, restart the server and nothing works. I use other manualpeerlist and neither. The resync always failed with same error.

    New problem or it has never worked? Might try a different time source.

    Ok, most likely there is something blocking UDP port 123 in at least one direction. I remember pulling my hair out with this one some time back and it turned out to be the ISP blocking inbound.

    The windows firewall would not be blocking by default, its also a simple test to disable. Also, you didn't mention but if this were a virtual machine then make sure time sync is turned off in integration services. As to ISP you could look for documentation such as this.
