I'm pretty sure I tried that, along with every other solution from the
MS Knowledge Base, MSDN, and Google I could find.  In any case, I've
spent way too many hours on it already and have a work-around, so I
don't think I'll pursue it further.

The way I do this is to add my time servers to the "to" list on the NTP
system policy of a "chosen" ISA box, and to have that box set to update
NTP to those servers.  I use the Navy boxes in DC and FL as my corp
office is on the East Coast. 

Then, I point my operations master DC to the ISA box, and have all the
other DC's point to that DC.  Internal resources automatically sync time
to the DC's, so this keep the entire infrastructure perfectly timed.

I spent many hours on this same problem here.  Couldn't figure out how
to get it to find the Internet time servers...  I eventually installed a
third-party program to do the time synchronization on the PDC, and that
has worked for the most part.  Didn't actually "fix" the problem, just
found a work-around.
 
As for the ISA part, it didn't seem to be even attempting to pass
through the ISA server, it was all on the server-end.

Make sure you have debugged any w32tm errors on the system.  90% of
everything you need to know is right there from the command shell; all
but a few nuggets of info if you are making a server a precise time
source for a domain regardless of being able to synch to an external
time source itself.  Something I've seen a lot with stand alone
networks.  All of it is out there in some really nice white papers on
TechNet about w32tm.

I get constant error messages in the server logs that Windows 2003
Server is unable to contact the time.windows.com server (have tried it
as time.windows.com and in IP form) but after a few tries it reports it
was able to make contact. I don't know if it's an ISA thing or if the
windows.com server is buggy?

Andrew

Is there a better way to setup Windows Time instead of having to use a
rule to open port 123 to the AD machine?
