Event ID 138 — Domain Hierarchy Time Source Acquisition

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

An Active Directory forest has a predetermined time synchronization hierarchy. The Windows Time service (W32time) synchronizes time between computers within the hierarchy, with the most accurate reference clocks at the top. If more than one time source is configured on a computer, the Windows Time service uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) algorithms to select the best time source from the configured sources, based on the computer’s ability to synchronize with that time source. Currently, the Windows Time service is synchronizing time with a time source peer from the domain heirarchy.
