Resolution :
Configure a relilable time source
The configuration of the time source (also known as the time provider) is not valid, or the time source is no longer accessible. Check the time source configuration and configure a different time source, if necessary.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. Perform all steps on the computer that is logging the event to be resolved.
To configure a reliable time source:
  1. Open a command prompt as an administrator. To open a command prompt as an administrator, click Start. In Start Search, type Command Prompt. At the top of the Start menu, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
  2. Force the client to attempt to discover the time source again. At the command prompt, type w32tm /resync /rediscover, and then press ENTER.
  3. To verify that the time source name or address is correct, at the command prompt, type w32tm /query /source, and then press ENTER.
    If the name or address of the time source is not correct, enter a valid name or address for the time source. If the name and address is correct, check for network connectivity issues and verify that the time source is functioning properly.
  4. To configure a new time source, use the w32tm /config command. For complete command syntax, at the command prompt, type w32tm /?, and then press ENTER.
Verify :
To verify that the Windows Time service is functioning properly, restart the service, and then check Event Viewer for entries that indicate a successful restart and system time synchronization.
To perform this procedure, must have membership in Administrators or must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To verify that the Windows Time service is functioning properly:
