Kim,

This error can mean a lot of things. The DC is attempting to contact who
it believes is the authorative time server in the domain. The error states
that the attempts to contact a time server have not succeeded recently. The
time service needs port 123 open between the client and the time server. We
need to keep in synch in a 2000 domain because of kerberos. The following
articles may be of assistance:
