4.91 client time sync issues

I have been having issues getting my XP workstations to sync with the time
of my Netware 6.5 SP 6 servers. I have one server set as the time source
which gets it's time from time.nist.gov just fine. My pc's are set in the
client to get that time from the server (default setting). However they
don't get the time. No matter what I do unless I physically change the
time
on my pc's can I get them to time sync with the servers?
Any tips or hints?
Thanks

Assuming you have client32 installed, they only get the time on login, not continuously through the day. Additionally they get UTC time and adjust it to the timezone set in Windows. What is the nature of the time difference between them and teh server? Is it an exact number of hours?
The other issue that will stop client32 getting time from the server is if the server is not in timesync with its tree. Load DSrepair on the server holding the Master of the affected partition. From the first menu run a TimeSync Check and a Report Sync Status. When finished, exit DSrepair and post the relevant portion of SYS:SYSTEM/dsrepair.log here, thanks.

MacMini Time Sync Issues

Hi All
I have a MacMini (Late 2012) that i am having issues with.
When i got the MacMini, it came with Lion which was then upgraded to Mountain Lion and now finally on Mavericks. However, since updating to 10.9.x i have noticed that the time on the mini seems to be going about 45 seconds fast every day (which means by the end of the week the time is approx 4 minutes ahead of what it should be). I have checked in Date & Time prefs and the time is set to automatically sync with Apple Europe.
I did try also to disable to auto time sync but still the problem remained.
So now every few days i go into Date & Time Prefs for the time to sync back.
The mini is connected via ethernet and is always on.
Any suggestions would be welcome
Many Thanks

1. For sure, there in VM settings you have time synchronization from host unchecked.
2. Network monitor will reveal what happens when you stop annd start Windown Time service and Systém Event log contains relevant data.

IPhone Calendar Appointment time syncing issue

I have noticed lately that appointments I enter into my iCal on my Desktop when synced with my iPhone are showing up an hour later. For example: If I made an appointment from 9AM to 10AM it will (when synced) show up on my iPhone 10AM to 11AM. I am not sure if it has to do with the latest iPhone update (1.1.3) or with Leopard. Has anyone had this issue? Any thoughts on how to resolve it? Thanks.

One thing to check out is on your iphone go to settings > general > date and time.
In date and time, make sure your time zone is set correctly.
If the time zone is set correctly, turn time zone support off.
Then make sure your date and time is set correctly.
Power off the iphone by holding down the power button on the top of the iphone until you see the slide to power off.
Now power the iphone back on.
Connect the iphone to the computer and sync.
Hope this helps.

Time sync issues after windows update

Hi,
After running a windows update on VM PDC controller server can't syncronize time with online pool (update took approx 10 minutes). Event log is showing error ID 50 (The time service detected a time difference of greater than 5000 milliseconds for 900 seconds)
and time is off for 10 minutes which causes problems with Exchange and Lync services.
According to event log there has been 4 succesful connections with NTP servers before event 50 appeared on log:
The time service is now synchronizing the system time with the time source 1.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 (ntp.m|0x1|0.0.0.0:123->178.79.191.28:123).
The time provider NtpClient is currently receiving valid time data from 2.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 (ntp.m|0x1|0.0.0.0:123->87.117.251.45:123).
The time provider NtpClient is currently receiving valid time data from 3.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 (ntp.m|0x1|0.0.0.0:123->178.79.160.57:123).

After running manual resync time is corrected, but it takes time to populate through domain computers without running gpupdate /force on each PC in domain.

Server is not taking time from bare metal as it's running on Hyper-V and it seems that it's not syncing during startup correctly. Is there a possibility that there can be a config issue as it's working fine when reboot doesn't take too long?

Premiere Pro audio sync issues with 48khz audio on video file and 44.1khz audio on external audio

So, I recorded video and audio on my Canon 5D Mark II at 1080p, 23.976 fps, and 48khz, 16-bit Stereo audio. And I used a Zoom H4 to record an mp3 audio file at 44.1khz Compressed. When trying to sync the audio in Premiere Pro CC, the audio slowly loses sync over time. I already tried to convert the 44.1khz mp3 file to 48khz in Adobe Audition. But that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas?

There's always time-stretch changes to the audio file with "keep pitch unchanged" checked, I suppose. Mind you, I've heard of people doing it but haven't done it myself. There's other possible options I'm sure. There's been quite a few threads here on time-sync issues over time.

Time sync monitor for all windows member servers

How to monitor time sync issue on all the member servers and domain controllers. Can we monitor through scom 2007 r2. Specially we need an alert when all the member servers are not in time sync.
B John

There is no monitor for exactly your ask.
The AD management pack includes a Time Service Health monitor for DCs that makes sure the time service is running:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0c921fa7-45ed-4bee-8f53-c92c750f6cbf/scom-module-for-monitoring-time-sync-issues?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
Here is my "domain time tip:"
Select your preferred time server from this list
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/NTP/. For example 'tick.usno.navy.mil'.
Then run these commands on your PDC emulator of the domain:
W32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"<DNS-name-of-time-server>"
W32tm /config /reliable:yes
W32tm /config /update
W32tm /resync
Net stop w32time
Net start w32time
If you execute these commands, AD defaults will cause all your member servers to discover the domain time standard and update to it.
Good luck,

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Many people are finding their Iphone 4S drops connection with their VW (Passat etc) integrated bluetooth hands free system after working fine for 5, 10, 20 minutes. The only way to reconnect is to switch the car off or turn the Iphone bluetooth off & back on.
This is a dangerous fault and it appears that both Apple & VW have no solution (or are ignoring as they have already sold you a phone & a car).

I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in different Hyper-V Hosts. Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?

As title,
I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in 2 different Hyper-V Hosts, and one of the perform as a PDC Emulator.
Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?
i.e. Both of the VMs sync with Hyper-V host, instead the other host should sync with the PDC Emulator?
I run w32tm command and get the following result:
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:dc8.domain8.local /source
VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:hpvzh05.domain8.local /source
VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
HPVZH05.domain8.local works as PDC server.
How can I make DC8 sync with HPVZH05?

Awesome!
It looks like your PDC is successfully pulling time from an external source. DC8 is not longer pulling from Hyper-V so that is good.
When you set a client to pull from a source ( and in this case DC8 is pulling from NT5DS, which tells it to pull from the PDC), and it CAN'T pull from that source, it will default to Local CMOS Clock. This is likely an easy fix.
First, check connectivity:
- Method one- Download Portqry and run this command: portqry -n HPVZH05 -p both -e 123 and see if the results say listening, or
- Method two- Run this command from DC8: w32tm /stripchart /computer:HPVZH05
If you get any kind of error using method two, it's a connectivity issue. (Maybe you have a firewall that's blocking access?)
The other cause of this, and probably more likely in your case, is that your PDC isn't properly advertising as a reliable time source, so DC8 isn't 'allowed' to pull from it.
Try running this command on your PDC: w32tm /config /reliable:yes
Then go restart time on your PDC, THEN DC8 again. (net stop w32time & net start w32time)
Here's an article you can reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794937(v=WS.10).aspx

Itunes/Outlook Calendar Syncing Issue - UTF-8 Flavor

I have had the usual and much discussed issue of outlook calendar does not sync with iTunes. The recommendations have been to remove iTunes and re-install, even blow away all the configuration files as well, and it even worked for me once. But not this time.
I was running Windows XP, and all of a sudden the Outlook 2007 calendar just stopped syncing. I upgraded from XP to 8.1, and that was not fun, but inevitable, and still didn’t correct the problem. Now, if you never upgraded from XP to 8.1 – you can’t – at least it is not a direct flight. First, you have to upgrade from XP to 8.0, then from 8.0 to 8.1, and there is no upgrade in place from XP to 8.0. So what does an upgrade in place mean? Your applications and profiles are not carried over. Just your data (if you ask nicely) is carried over – but all applications have to be re-installed from scratch, and reactivated if there was license activation.
So, forget about re-install of iTunes, I changed OS, reinstalled iTunes and Office 2007 from scratch. And still had the syncing problem. So, I wasn’t getting off easy.
In searching, I found some debugging stuff which I tried, as follows to turn on logging:
So, I ran the following:
cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
defaults write com.apple.Outlook.client.exe ShouldLog YES
defaults write -globalDomain SyncServicesLogEverything YES
defaults write -globalDomain SyncServicesLogPersonalInfo YES
And this turned on a lot of tracing. The tracing helped me understand what was going on under the covers, But I am not sure I was getting enough of the information that I needed to really zero in on the bad record.
Now, I will pause and provide some observation of my specific Sync.
An iTunes Sync on a Windows machine when using Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer is selected on the INFO tab of the page for the device.
Selections include Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and Notes.
One of the programs involved with Outlook Synchronization is: com.apple.Outlook.client.exe
The program is called when Outlook data needs to be accessed, and is used for contacts, calendar and notes when those items are paired between the iDevice and Outlook. Bookmarks are usually paired with the browser, for example IE.
During the sync operation, each of these are sync’d separately, that is why if you follow the sync actions, iTunes will reflecting what is being synced at the moment, for example “syncing contacts”.
When syncing the calendar, and iTunes is running a slow sync, it reads the Outlook calendar using the com.apple.Outlook.client.exe and does processing of the recursion and time zone information.
For example, for recurrence:
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Setting recurrence data <04300430 0d200200 000000ae 06000c00 00000000 00000400 00002120 0000e703 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000a0e7 980cc016 d10c0630 00000830 00000000 0000a005 00000000 00000000 00000000>
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] 0 recurrence exceptions
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Reading the Extended Exception Info (i.e. Unicode data)
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Done making compatible recurrence
For example, for timezone:
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:43 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Could not create a time zone from outlook name, tried using name (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Then the calendar entries are pushed, for example:
ca965dbc4717d9488fafc9266f1f829304082700 =     {
        "all
day" = 1;
        calendar
=         (
            ca965dbc4717d9488fafc9266f1f829382800000
"com.apple.outlook.freebusy" = Free;
"com.apple.syncservices.RecordEntityName" = "com.apple.calendars.Event";
        "end date" = "2020-05-11 12:00:00 +0000";
        location = "United States";
        "start date" = "2020-05-10 12:00:00 +0000";
        summary = "Mother's Day";
So, my SYNC fails, and I crash and burn with:
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:41:22 2014] [_ISDVLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] SyncServices assertion failure (nil != strUTF8) in [(null) (null)], SDLogging.m:641 could not obtain UTF-8 flavor of formatted string
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:41:23 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] objcMain caught an exception:
name
NSInternalInconsistencyException
reason     : [(null)
(null)]: could not obtain UTF-8 flavor of formatted string
user info : (null)
call stack : (
Now I’m back. So, during the extract and push of the outlook calendar entries, iTunes is building formatted strings. Now, Unicode is usually 16 bit (2 characters) Unicode, sometimes called double byte code. UTF-8 is single byte, so realize you can’t squeeze 16 bits into a 8 bit byte. However, you could if the Unicode string only contained characters that were valid for the UTF-8 character set. My interpretation of the error message above was that somewhere a formatted character string contained a “non-UTF-8” character and raised the assertion. Now, my issue with the excessive detailing from the logs was that – at least with the logging parameters I had turned on – I couldn’t figure out which calendar entry caused the exception to be thrown.
First instinct was that the last calendar entry in the trace was the culprit, so I deleted that calendar entry, ran again, the sync went up to the previous entry, and threw the exception. This gives me two theories: Either the sync was processing the next entry – which wasn’t printed in the trace yet – and failed, or the sync was going back to previous records – like reviewing the buffer. In either case, the trace wasn’t helping and it was all theories.
Now what? What has everyone been saying? Issues with recurrence. And in the trace, as you see above as an example, “0 recurrence exceptions”, “reading the extended exception info (i.e. Unicode data)”.
Now, I have no clue what that means. My initial guess was that recurrence exceptions (I had non-zeros on some) was an error. But further research I realized what it could mean was that these were situations where there were recurrence exceptions. What is a recurrence exception? Suppose I want to schedule a meeting on the 4th day of the month, for every month of the year. Well, except maybe July 4th, because it is a holiday and the office is closed. I would send the meeting invite, and then a cancellation for the July 4th. (I hear there is no simple way to do this). I now have an exception because I broke the recurrence chain. Other forms of exceptions is if I keep changing the location, or the body of the invite – e.g. every month I update the agenda, but only for one recurrence, not the entire series.
So, keep in mind, that if the issue is conversion to a UTF-8 character, and it is failing, then uninstall/reinstall of anything is not going to help if the real issue at hand is the data in Outlook and is not a coding or configuration issue. Now, sometimes it is an issue, but you need to see why the syncserver tasks are failing, and may fail due to other reasons including other data issues.
So, what did I do? Well IO have 15K calendar entries, which, was taking an hour or two to slow sync (I call it a slow dance) and I was,spending days (maybe a couple of weeks) trying to fix this – and frustration was on the high end.
I removed some of my older recurrences, and changed others from never expire to like 25 maximum occurrences. No idea which one worked, or even if it was a coincidence. However, the UTF-8 error went away, and then I moved to the next issue.
Now, before we get there, with outlook 2007 finding recurrences is not difficult. Go into the calendar, and select appointment or list view (Outlook 2013 list view works ok). You can then sort on the recurrence column and see which (if any) items gave a recurrence pattern. Now maybe someone can figure out specific BAD calendar items that are throwing the exception to give us a better idea of what to look for and then report it so we can do further research.
Now, once we can get the issue out of the way, stop iTunes from throwing an exception, we are not 100% done yet. By this time what is in Outlook and on the iDevice is out of sync. We need to get that message to popup asking us if we want to merge the data between the iDevice and Outlook. This can be important if you don’t want to lose data. My issue is that with iTunes 11.2.2 for some reason won’t do it, i.e. when I select “reset sync history” it doesn’t work. At that point I was forced to rename my iTunesprefs, the syncserver folder, and a few other folders. In this case, for Windows 7 and later, the folders in “Apple Computer” of both the local and roaming paths, and I had to cancel running tasks that had those folders open. One way or another, you want the iTunes message asking if you want to merge the folders.
What can you do to help?
Report success or failures using the information above
Report if you are getting the same UTF-8 message, or if you are seeing other exceptions
Report specific cases of calendar entries that you find that you have isolated to be throwing an exception
Report any other logging/tracing parameters that you may find. It looks like you can turn on “ShouldLog” using the defaults.exe command for other tasks that iTunes runs.
This syncing issue has been going on for years, under different iTunes versions, there has to be something going on and an easier way to troubleshoot this problem. I wish I had the time, but right now I fixed the problem I had and was able to resync my Outlook with my two iPads and iPhone.
The only issue I have left at the moment is the message “the ipad xxx cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54). – despite this error message, I am syncing, but the message is distracting and annoying.

Yes - both have time zone support and are set to London/GMT
The most recent of these aberrations was not even crossing a DST change - just a simple recurring event (which I've manually changed to single events by copy/paste).
I just tried a new one which goes back 1 hr 27 Oct - when UK clocks go back. As it's a dummy apt I'll leave it and see if if goes back to the correct time on 27 Oct! In the meantime, I can't afford for my appts to get screwed up so will continue to do them manually!
Thanks for your input.

Sync issue with Outlook 2010

Hi,
Not sure if this would be the correct place for this, but here is my issue
We have a client with Exchange 2010, and Outlook 2010 and they seem to be getting sync issues. the error that comes up is
10:58:52 Synchronizer Version 14.0.6117

10:27:25 Microsoft Exchange offline address book
10:27:25 Download successful
Now I have tried some of the standard troubleshooting steps but it seems to keep happening.
This is what I have tried
1) turned off any 3rd part addins
2) turned on outlook logging, but it does not seem to indicate any errors, or I may not be reading it right
3) removed the ost file, and let outlook recreate it
4) turned off cache mode, and turned off offline file, re-open outlook turned back on offline file, cache mode
5) removed exchange support files for outlook, and repaired office
So I am not sure where to proceed from here.
Thanks

Mobile Home Sync Issues

I just setup a 10.5 Server and 10.5 client - Home sync is working, however my login sync is set to do ONLY ~/Library - it seems to search the entire home folder, and syncs what ever has changed - I've tried reseting this and haven't had any luck. It seems to happen on any of the 3 accounts I've created so far. Anyone else having this issue? I'm in the learning process, but have to roll out a similar setup for a client pretty soon - I can't have my login/logout times this long .
Homes are setup via AFP
G5 1.8 Dual 4GB Ram 1x 75GB Raptor (Boot) 1x External 1TB HD
Clean Install no upgrade (this is a test machine)
10.5 Server Running:
OD
DNS
DHCP
AFP
SMB
PRINT
iCAL
WEB
10.5 Client (PBG4 1.67, 2GB RAM, 80GB)
- Clean install - 1 admin account - other accounts via OD/Mobile Homes

There's a bucketload of new preference keys in com.apple.HomeSync.plist that affect what syncs when:
<key>syncBackgroundSetAtLogin</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncBackgroundSetAtLogout</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtLogin</key>
<string>sync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtLogout</key>
<string>sync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtSyncNow</key>
<string>sync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesInBackground</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
I think that you want to set syncBackgroundSetAtLogin and syncBackgroundSetAtLogout to dontSync.

Premiere CS5 h264 sync issue

I'm having SERIOUS sync problems when exporting a film to a h264 format. (Before i used primarely Flash and Windows media and haven´t had any problems). The sync issue can be seen in Quick time player, on Macs and on some online video platforms that I use.
The sync issue occurs more in some films and less in some films that I'm producing. I have tried to isolate the problem, effects used , audio format etc etc. , but i haven't found any effects or anything that causes the problem. I'm out of sync by 6-12 frames.
This is a major problem as my clients prefer h264 and h264 has superior quality to other formats. (Quality as a function of file size).
To solve this with a temp. fix i do the following;
I export the finished film to a MPEG 2 format (about 300Meg for a 3 minute film). And convert the film to mp4 using a 3rd party converter. By doing this i lose som quality but the film i in-sync. This is a short term solution and i have to switch to another editing software unless this is fixed on the CS6. Adobe just refers to forums and can't/won't be at any help on this.
Anyone out there that has experienced the same problems?
I have premiere on 4 different pcs in different confíguration , with or without gtx470 graphicts, on laptop etc etc. , so, please don't ask me "What is you system configuration...etc" . This is NOT a system related issue.

The QuickTime player often has this issue. It is best not used at all. Instead, try the free and excellent VLC player.
Having said that, there are free encoders out there (MeGUI, Handbrake, Xvid4PSP, etc.) which use the x264 encoder, which many find superior to others like the MainConcept encoder Adobe uses. But your best bet here is to export out a lossless intermediate rather than a highly compressed MPEG. The UT codec is free, lossless, plays nice with Adobe software, and since version 11, is now both read and write capable on Macs.

Windows 7 time sync returns Access Denied error

I have recently configured my AD PDC Windows 2008 Server to syncronize with time.windows.com. I am trying to get my AD Windows 7 Pro clients to sync with the server, however anytime I run w32tm /resync, net stop w32tm or net start w32tm I get an
Access Denied error on the client. I have tried it logged in as both the domain admin and the local admin. For some reason I can start and stop the W32 Time Service from the Services console, but it doesn't resync the time when it restarts. Why
am I being denied access when logged in as the domain administrator?

Hi,
Did you set any group policy to prevent client from changing the services?
I suggest you take the ownership of %WINDIR%\System32\W32TM.EXE, disable the security software and firewall on both side to check the result. Also re-configure the
group policy related to Windows Time Service and re-apply them.
In addition, I suggest contacting Server Forum to confirm with the issue.
