Getting the following error in the Event Log:

Event ID: 62
This machine is a PDC of the domain at the root of the
forerst. Configure to sync from External time source
using the net command, 'net time /setsntp:<server name>'.

Tried running the following command and I get a "System
error 2 has occurred".

NET TIME
\\computername /DOMAIN:domainname /RTSDOMAIN:domainname /SE

Thank you.

'net help time' provides more detailed info about the proper syntax; it's
either \\computername or /domain:... or /rtsdomain:... but not a mess.

To verify that the time service is synchronizing time at the command prompt,
type:

w32tm /v /once /test

To configure time service, you must:

net stop W32Time (stop the W32Time service)
net time /setsntp:{ntpservername}
net start W32Time (restart the service)

Set NTP time source on the PDC server, the rest of the forest would
synchronize the time automatically. You can find available NTP servers at
