Investigating time sync errors (Win2008 R2, Windows 7)

TIME - error on Windows 2008 R2

The time service has not synchronized the system time for 86400 seconds because none of the time service providers provided a usable time stamp. The time service will not update the local system time until it is able to synchronize with a time source. If the local system is configured to act as a time server for clients, it will stop advertising as a time source to clients. The time service will continue to retry and sync time with its time sources. Check system event log for other W32time events for more details. Run 'w32tm /resync' to force an instant time synchronization.

Time - Error

Time Provider NtpClient: This machine is configured to use the domain hierarchy to determine its time source, but it is the AD PDC emulator for the domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain hierarchy to use as a time source. It is recommended that you either configure a reliable time service in the root domain, or manually configure the AD PDC to synchronize with an external time source. Otherwise, this machine will function as the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy. If an external time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable the NtpClient.

Manually configuring NTPClient to sync with external source:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"time.windows.com,0x1" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

Access is denied (0x80070005)

STEPS

1. Stop windows time service

2. unregister tm service (w32tm /unregister)

3. register tm service (w32tm /register)

4. run w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"time.windows.com,0x1" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

5. Monitor

Ubuntu

• Update the Package Index: The APT package index is essentially a database of available packages from the repositories defined in the/etc/apt/sources.list file and in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. To update the local package index with the latest changes made in the repositories, type the following:

      sudo apt-get update  

• Upgrade Packages: Over time, updated versions of packages currently installed on your computer may become available from the package repositories (for example security updates). To upgrade your system, first update your package index as outlined above, and then type:

      sudo apt-get upgrade

Install python

sudo apt-get install python3

Check python version  python --version

FTP Server

 sudo apt-get install vsftpd

    sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf

    anonymous_enable=NO

Python Virtualenv

apt-get install python-virtualenv
