Windows Time Service errors

I have Vista SP2. The Event Viewer shows that I keep getting the
following type of error message repeatedly:

NtpClient was unable to set a manual peer to use as a time source
because of DNS resolution error on 'time.windows.com,0x9'. NtpClient
will try again in 15 minutes and double the reattempt interval
thereafter. The error was: No such host is known. (0x80072AF9)

This is but one of many such messages.

I suspect that this is also waking up my computer out of a sound sleep.
:-)

I admit I don't know much about the Windows Time Service. I tried
opening up a Command window and running
w32tm /resync

But the response I got back (after a bit of time) was:

"The computer did not resync because no time data was available."

I cannot find Event ID 37 in the Event Viewer, indicating that sync with
a time source peer was never done successfully.

Any ideas?

Hi Steven. Windows time is run by Microsoft I believe and it is known to
have issues from time to time. Try the gov. site. I have win7 now but as
I recall it goes something like this;

Right click the time in the task bar. Click adjust time and date. click
the internet tab. Click change settings. Click the drop down arrow and
choose Time.nist.gov.

Try that and see if it helps your problem.

LOL. You are not even close. The issue that the OP posted has nothing to do with
your post
