Anyone know anything about this error message?:-
'This machine is a PDC of the domain at the root of the
forest. Configure to sync from External time source using
the net command, 'net time/setsntp <server name>'

The accompanying warning message is:-
'Because of repeated network problems, the time service
has not been able to find a domain controller to
synchronise with for a long time. To reduce network
traffic, the time service will wait 960 minutes before
trying again. No synchronisation will take place during
this interval, evein if network connectivity is restored.
Accumulated time errors may cause certain network
operations to fail. To tell the time service that network
connectivity has\been restored and that it should
resynchronise, execute "w32tm/s" from the command line.
