Windows 7 as Time Server

Hello,
I'm working on an embedded software project that sends out SNTP requests. It's on a small test network -- because of the high volume of traffic it cannot be placed on the company network. I need my machine (Windows 7 Pro) to be able to serve time to this
network. How can I set up my Windows 7 machine to do this?
Thanks

I figured it out. I did the following:
1.) Open the Group Policy Editor
2.) Click Computer Configuration , click Administrative Templates , click
System , and then click Windows Time Service .
3.) Click Time Providers , double-click Enable Windows NTP Server in the right pane, click the
Enabled button, and then click OK .
4.) From the Group Policy Object Editor menu, click File , and then click
Exit .

New Windows 7 formats Time server idle power levels

Hi, I am a new user of an NMH405 which I hope to upgrade to 3TB or 1.5TB raid1 (not 100% yet). I bought the unit as a NAS unit (but chose this model as it was on special offer) hoping that I could use the media server features later.
I have the unit working as a NAS using the original drive and have come up with some questions that I cannot find answered either in the documentation or the FAQ's and community posts.
First Windows 7 appears to be only partialy supported. The folder locations for media are different to Vista and there are new formats such as .WTV which replaces .DVR-MS as the default TV format. The supplied backup software didn't install correctly and the update (well I think the import software is updated) on the website is hidden inside a huge .ISO file which is going to take hours to download. However reading the posts indicates that the .DVR-MS format is only half supported. Solutions involve editing an .XML file or customising the NTI backup in order to get files onto the server. .WTV is not even mentioned anywhere.
Is fully realised Windows 7 support going to be in the next release? and approximately when?
I decided to use a static IP address for the server as I have been suffering master browser problems with Windows networking. However I then ran into the Time server bug and had an 8 hour 14 minute offset to the system time. I have temporarily solved this by assigning a reserved address in my DHCP server and reverting to DHCP mode. However during the process I found that the NMH405 had become the master browser and solved the initial problem - ACE.
Fix next firmware update?
Drive support. This is difficult to keep up to date and June 2009 is a little out of date. Well hidden as well, I first found the list by accident but have since had difficulty finding it deliberately. No "Avoid these drives" list though, but there is sporadic indiction of non-compatibility in the forums. The list is date 7 days before the .ISO image and of course long before the October date of the latest firmware. Cannot find an update notice indicating changes - e.g. drive support.
Make it easier to find and try to keep it more up to date.
Power levels and drive spin down. From the data sheet 60W is the only indication, however a link to a third party indicates 13W but no spin down?. With the emphasis on "Green Power" in the US I am suprised this information is not in bold in the data sheet (though other NAS vendors also hide it). My unit will spend 80% of its life idle, I do hope the drives do get to spin down and extend their life and save power.
Is direct Cisco information available rather than just third party?
Finally perhaps a silly query, but why not. Can I use a USB hub and attach multiple drives externally?
StokersSon

Hi,
Thanks Wilkins377 for your two cents. At least I know it should work.
Well I now have upgraded to 2 x 1.5GB drives (not in the approved list) and have them working 100% as a raid pair. Also Firmware to 3.18.15
Using a USB hub I have got multiple HDD USB drives working - including NTFS formatted (read only of course). So the hardware is all functional.
However no matter how I format my 2GB and 4GB flash drives (FAT or FAT32 including alternate allocation size) the mediahub does not see them in either port directly or the powered hub. I am using an XP machine to format them. An SD card is seen OK.
Well flash is not important, being able to use multiple USB for backup and networked access is. I am not likely to need to use the hub ports for media import as it is easier to get access to my PC and place the hub out of reach.
I still cannot tell if the drives spin down, they are still quite warm after several hours of only the media hub and router being powered. I need to get a stethascope and listen if they spin up on access, the nearby PC fans are too noisy.

Windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition time server problem: The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

Hello,
I'm trying to get my 2008 R2 server (physical server) to synch with an external time server. I've read other threads on the topic but have not found a solution. I'm sure i'm missing something.
First the step leading to the error:
w32tm /resync /rediscover
Sending resync command to local computer
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.
Following is the history:

Hi,
You may need to update command w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update, to change the IntranetServer w32time type to nt5ds (this sets the service to pull from the AD).
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
The computer did not resync because no time data was available (w32tm)

Window 2008 R2 datacentre server time problem

Hi Team,
I have one window 2008 R2 data centre server, which having time problem, I have setted IST time zone but time coming 15 minute delay, I have tried to correct time by manual but time goes again 15 minute delay itself.
Please guide how to solve it and but i don't want to use NTP, as this server is on workgroup.
Regards
Inder Singh Rawat

Hi ,
I followed following step to build NTP in window server 2008 R2.
Enabling & Configuring NTP Server
1. Change the server type to NTP.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type
In the pane on the right, right-click Type, and then click Modify. In Edit Value, type NTP in the Value data box, and then click OK.
2. Set AnnounceFlags to 5.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags
In the pane on the right, right-click AnnounceFlags, and then click Modify. In Edit DWORD Value, type 5 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
3. Enable NTPServer.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer
In the pane on the right, right-click Enabled, and then click Modify .In Edit DWORD Value, type 1 in
the Value data box, and then click OK
4. Specify the time sources.
Open a command prompt and type the command as below: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
peers: time.windows.com or time.nist.gov
eg: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
5. At the command prompt, type the following command to restart the Windows Time service, and then press Enter:
net stop w32time
net start w32time
i run following useful command.
1. To resynchronize time : w32tm /resync or w32tm /resync /rediscover
2. To verify the configuartion : w32tm /query /configuration and w32tm /query /status
3. Display the current time zone settings : w32tm /tz
Now what problem i am facing , when server goes restart "Window time service stoped" and ntp corrupted.
Even Window time service is set automatically, when i do configure again then NTP work proper.
Please help how to resolve this problem, if server restart NTP goes corrupted becuase of window time service stopped.
Regards

Time Server for Windows

Currently i am using Windows Time Server(NTP) not any third party software, I need to use the windows time server in Cisco Devices. As my network admin team asking to share the key. this key can be only created by third party NTP server.
But how i can map windows time server in cisco devices.

There are few things you will have to check it with in Windows Server.
This document will work on server as well
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054/en-us
Here are the registry key you should change on Domain Controller
Depending on your Windows version, there are some registry settings you need to set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NTPServer\Enabled
Changing the ‘Enabled’ flag to the value 1 enables the NTP Server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type
Change the server type to NTP by specifying ‘NTP’ in the ‘Type’ registry entry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags
Set the ‘Announce Flags’ registry entry to 5, to indicate a reliable time source.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\LocalClockDispersion
Set 'LocalClockDispersion' to 0
The last one is most important one.
After changing registry, you need to restart "Windows Time" service.

Write access to a directory for ASP 2.0 application stops working on Windows 2012 Standard Cloud Server

Just moved our ASP 2.0 based web application to a Windows 2012 Standard Cloud Server. A directory is used for temporary copying of files for the application. The Read Write access is properly given and everything works but then stops working
in about 2.5 hours. The settings are still there, to make things work again typically I add "Everyone" to the security list and apply and then 3 hours later I remove "Everyone" and this refreshes the security setting and things work
againg for a couple of hours. Last Cloud server was 2008 R2 and we had no issues. Recently moved to this new cloud server. Code has been functioning fine for years and can not migrate it to newer ASP since will have to make quite a few code
changes. Obviously a bug which needs to be addressed. Again the security settings do not disappear but are no longer handled properly every 3 hours or so.

Hi,
Is there any other files have the same issue? Please create a test folder and give the same permissions with the directory for ASP 2.0 application to see if the issue still exists.

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

Apple Remote Desktop - how to change the date and time server ip address?

Our imacs keep getting out of synch with our Windows Active Directory server and when they do, users can no longer log into the imacs. The imacs this morning were more than 5 minutes fast, for example.
So, we have changed the date and time server on one of our imacs to our internal time server and that works fine. Now I would like to update all of the other imacs using a unix command in ARD. Can anyone tell me how to send this change? For this message, let's say our internal time server is 172.30.100.100

Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
networksetup -help
systemsetup -help
That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.
Cheers.

How to configure Lion Server as network time server?

I have Lion Server at the top of a small network of Windows 2K, Windows XP and Windows 7 machines.
I need each of those computers to synch their time to that of the Mac Server because this network operates without internet access.
I have tried various protocols from those machines to synch on the server's IP but they all fail.
It has led me to belive I need to enable a service to allow time synch to the managed computers.
But I can't find information on this. I keep getting directed to how to synch the mac to a time server or time machine configuration tips.
Thanks in advance

In Server Admin, select your server, click on Settings, then go to the General tab. You will see an option to enable the Network Time Server.

Setting time or time server on clients with ARD

Does anyone know what files need to be copied to OS X clients to set their time or time server? I know that time server info is stored in /etc/ntp.conf, but this isn't the only file that needs to be sent to set up a client to get its time from a time server. I haven't been able to find the correct .plist file that includes these settings and am not familiar enough with UNIX to know which other files are used for these settings.
Thank you,
Peggy

Using the ARD Send Unix Command option send the following command to the workstations:
systemsetup -settime <hh:mm:ss>
where <hh:mm:ss> is the time you want the systems to have (don't include the brackets). Send the command as the root user (enter root in "send command as:")
To set the time server to use, send:
systemsetup -setnetworktimeserver <timeserver>
substituting the domain name of the time server (again, no brackets).
For more such commands, in Terminal enter:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/netw orksetup -help
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/syst emsetup -help
or from within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
networksetup -help
systemsetup -help

How to configure a compact Fielpoint to time server IP (LabVIEW 2013, cFP-2220, NI Fieldpoint 6.1, MAX 5.5.1)?

Hi all,
in old MAX versions there was a field, where one can type a time server computer's IP number to synchronize a Fieldpoint controller. How I can perform that in new environment? I can't find it neither in MAX, nor in system configuration.
Thank you,
Armen

Hi Armen,
I have suggested the following to one of my customers who had brought this up.
The Time Server option will not be available in MAX 5.5, but may be readded in the future versions. But, there is a work around for this, where you can set the IP address of the Time Server to the cFP.
1. Open Windows Explorer>>Type ftp:\\10.X.X.X (IP address of the cFP) in the address field >>Enter. This will open a window that displays the files on the cFP.
2. Now, you will find ni-rt.ini file here, copy and paste it on your PC desktop.
3. Open this ini file on the desktop using notepad and you will find Time_Server=10.0.0.1. So, change this to the IP address of the Time Server that you will be assigning. Save and close the ini file and copy and replace it in the cFP files, where you originally copied it from.
4. Restart the cFP by right click the cFP in MAX>>Restart.
5. Now, the cFP has been assigned the Time Server.
6. Start the NI Time Service on your PC by following the information in the Help Tab in MAX>>Remote Systems>>select cFP detected.
I have confirmed that the Time Server has been assigned to the cFP.
Firstly, I did the above procedure and set the Time Server using my PC, which has MAX 5.5.
Then, I have a Test PC with old MAX 4.6 and related cFP drivers. Here, when I opened the detected cFP I can see the Time Server under the Network Settings Tab, which was configured with the IP address I have set in the ini file. So, this proves that this works.
So, kindly try the above and see if this helps to resolve the issue you are observing.

MacBooks can't resolve printer name when sending job to windows 2008 R2 print server.

So I am work at company in a windows server 2008 r2 and we have a windows 2008 r2 printer server. Our macbook pros are not on the domain so every time we print to the server we have to type in our credentials.
MacBooks can't resolve printer name when sending job to windows 2008 R2 print server while on wifi but works when hard wired. Any thoughts? The error message I receive is "invalid printer name". I've tried adding the printer through the advanced tab in the print and scan tab of system preferences. I add it buy smb://servername/printername.
When I tried to print on the wifi at my office I get "invalid printer name" in the print job status que.
We can just do direct printing but I would like to know if anyone has had this issue before and if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I assume you aare using exchange when configuring the email notifications? What I would do is just use a normal IMAP & SMTP account such as Outlook.com or if you use a POP connector for exchange, one of those accounts' SMTP settings.
For example, I have a POP connector installed and my emails are hosted at 1and1. What I would do here is put my 1and1 SMTP settings in and use these, instead of using Exchange.
Let me know if this is possible.

Windows 2008 R2 File Server - user profiles appear underdirectory C:\user

I've a windows 2008 r2 file server and few day ago I've noticed that under directory c:\users some user profiles have been created.
These users don't have rdp access to this server and don't use any ts application.
