Long Name: The time synchronization tool does not log changes to the time source.<br />

Checks:<br />

The following procedures check the Windows Time service. This is the preferred<br />

time synchronization tool for Windows domain controllers.<br />

A. Windows 2000 Server Procedures<br />

• Use Registry Editor to navigate to the following:<br />

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters.<br />

• If the value for “WriteLog” is not “True” or the value for “Log” is not<br />

“0x00000064” or greater, then this is a Finding.<br />

• If the “WriteLog” or “Log” entries are not found, then this is a Finding.<br />

B. Windows Server 2003 Procedures<br />

• Use Registry Editor to navigate to the following:<br />

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config.<br />

• If the value for “EventLogFlags” is not “2”, then this is a Finding.<br />

If the SA has demonstrated that an alternate time synchronization tool is being used,<br />

check to see if the tool can log time source changes. [Review the available<br />

configuration options and logs.] If the tool has that capability and it is not enabled,<br />

then this is a Finding.<br />
