I put a new CMOS battery in, made sure the time in BIOS was correct. It's now about 30 seconds behind. Seems like it gradually keeps slowing until manually entered again.

Recommendations for Movie Maker Replacement
I have a client who wants to record from a webcam (audio/video) and be able to edit the video. He has been doing this with Movie Maker but is trying to find a replacement since Movie Maker is no longer supported.
Any suggestions?

Cat6 Cable - Termination and testing
I have a client that is remote to me (a little over a thousand miles). They are building a new addition and looking at doing Cat6 cable. I have heard that you really need extensive testing to 'certify' the cable in order to really be cat6. (Under the premise that Cat6 is less forgiving than Cat5e when terminating)
BS or true?

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
@dbeato But it doesn't. I manually changed it from 7 behind to 2 behind to let it catch up. However I have set the time on this server (to correct time) manually a couple months ago and that is when the company called me and said it's off again.

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
@hobbit666 I have tried a couple of those.
It's weird to me as it seems like it's able to sync the time, but no matter if it is 7 minutes late or 2 minutes late the server 'thinks' it's off by 0 ms so it doesn't change.
It's just odd.

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
With the fact that it slowly 'catches up' last night I adjusted the time to be within 2 minutes of current time hoping that it would 'catch up' more quickly. As of this morning it's still at 2 minutes behind, so no joy....

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
I'm reading that if it is off only by a few minutes it slowly changes the clock to run faster until it 'catches up'.
Check again in the AM and report back.
Goodnight all.

Just using pool.ntp.org now.
Getting this:
The system time has changed to 2017-07-26T03:59:47.234000000Z from 2017-07-26T03:59:47.247242200Z.But it's still 7 minutes behind...

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
Interesting... this just popped up in the log as well:
Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from manually configured peer 3.pool.ntp.org,0x8 after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer with this DNS name. The error was: The peer is unreachable.

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
The time provider NtpClient is currently receiving valid time data from 3.pool.ntp.org,0x8 (ntp.m|0x8|0.0.0.0:123->69.50.219.51:123).
The time service is now synchronizing the system time with the time source 3.pool.ntp.org,0x8 (ntp.m|0x8|0.0.0.0:123->69.50.219.51:123).Result of /sync command.
I can't get into the BIOS right this minute. I am currently remoting into the server and would have to schedule downtime to check. Shouldn't Windows time and BIOS time be the same? (Sync with each other)

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
UT has the correct time. I am able to Telnet to pool.ntp.org port 123 (I don't get anything on the screen, but it connects via Putty)
-
RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
From what I have read UT is open from LAN to WAN by default. So I believe so.

Physical box (no VM).
I looked at the link you referenced but not sure that is 100% applicable as it's talking about /etc folders.

Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
I have a DC running Windows Server 2012 R2. It's behind a Untangle firewall.
I can't get it to maintain time for some reason. My understanding is that outbound traffic isn't blocked with Untangle.
I have set up several servers for NTP sync and not run into this many issues. It says it's successful but is 7 minutes off.
Any ideas?

UPS Replacement
How often should you replace your UPS units (the unit itself not the batteries)? Is there a 'best practice'?

RE: Blue Screen (not BSOD) when using mouse in Windows Server 2012
@scottalanmiller LOL... Yeah I was getting that you are a huge VM fan from the other posts. Just curious, are you a Hyper-V or a VMware fan?

RE: Blue Screen (not BSOD) when using mouse in Windows Server 2012
@scottalanmiller Yeah, I do VM on almost all new servers I set up.
