time server on 2003 DC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Currently I have a domain controller acting as the time server, i.e. it goes
out to the internet to access a time server, this controller is not the main
ADC (PDC).
Reading reports recommends the PDC to act as the time server, if so, how
easy is it to move the time server over to the PDC (command examples would
be good).

Thanks

The fsmo pdc is the time server, there is nothing to move. You need to
point the fsmo pdc to the external time source and leave all others to
default to the internal time server. Clients will get their time from a dc
and all dc's should be getting their time from the fsmo pdc.
