Hi Amy,

How about creating a packet filter on the ISA firewall for NTP and
configure it as the time server?

Subject: [isalist] Time Sync Problem


http://www.ISAserver.org


The situation is that the client has purchase time keeping software and
it will use the domain time to track when an employee punches in and
out. All client computers are sync'd with the server; that part is
working fine. The server is not able to sync with an external time
source. 

On the server, I get event 38
"The time provider NtpClient cannot reach or is currently receiving
invalid time data from harbor.ecn.purdue.edu
(ntp.m|0x1|192.168.1.100:123->128.46.154.76:123)."

ISA log shows
192.168.1.100   128.46.154.76   Udp     123     123     -       BLOCKED
192.168.1.100

192.168.1.100 is the external IP address of the SBS2003 server. A DSL
router does the NAT from our static IP.

The time service is supposed to be allowed in the default SBS setup. ISA
has a packet filter for TCP 123, receive only on all local ports, remote
port is fixed 123 on the external IP address. Shouldn't this be UDP?

There is a Protocol Definition for 123 UDP Send/Receive. 

I've been hunting everywhere except in ISA for the problem, so I've
already tried various time providers, FQDN and IP, modified registry
entries and applied a hot fix.
