hi all
i have in my company 2 appliance fro providing accurate time ,i need to configure my domain controller to sync time with those appliance .
those appliances have not DNS name they have ip addresses
in addition I want to use another site like as a 3rd source if the two appliances failed
so I got this configuration "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.time.windows.com,0x1 1. time.google.com ,0X1"
/syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update" from
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/50924.active-directory-time-synchronization.aspx
and typed that way
"w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.10.200.10.100,0x1 1.10.200.10.101,0x1 2.africa.pool.ntp.org"
but it didn't work
i tried
"w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"10.200.10.100 10.200.10.101"
and it worked I did that because it's written in this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc773263(v=ws.10)
manualpeerlist:<peers> – sets the manual peer list to <peers>, which is a space-delimited list of DNS and/or IP addresses.
When specifying multiple peers, this option must be enclosed in quotes.
but I don't know what is the use of 0x1 and 1. or 2. so my question how to make 10.200.10.100
is the preferred one and the other ip is standby and the africa.pool.ntp.org as the third options if both appliances didn't work
although it's mentioned in the following link
There is no default value for this registry entry on domain members. The default value on stand-alone clients and servers is time.windows.com,0x
all i understand about "0x01
SpecialInterval" it makes the computer syncs time
based on the interval value in this registry and does't use operating system SpecialInterval"
but I did't understand fall back option even I read it it in
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/w32time/2008/02/26/configuring-the-time-service-ntpserver-and-specialpollinterval/
in brief I need how to make the following
how to make 10.200.10.100 is the preferred one
and the other ip is standby and the africa.pool.ntp.org as the third options if both appliances didn't work
what is"1."that precede the site name "w32tm
/config /manualpeerlist:"0.10.200.10.100,0x1 1.10.200.10.101,0x1 2.africa.pool.ntp.org"
