#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Time is wrong across the domain -- w32time events 129, 36, 47 Fix : Put a member back on the domain hierarchy Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-time-w32time Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the affected machine Expect : 20 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX A DC or member server has drifted while the PDC emulator is correct. HOW TO UNDO IT None -- this restores the default configuration. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
