I check and it's good
How does your DC get it's time? Internal clock, internet time server, connected atomic radio clock?

Does the clock on the DC go back 3 mins as well? Is the DC you are setting it on the authoritative time server (i.e. has the PDC operations master role?)
Try this,

on your clients open command prompt type:     net time \\servername /set /yes   (/domain if you prefer)

good luck
Hi,

To ensure that all domain controllers have same time, you just need to identify the PDC Emulator role hoder server and make it as a auhtorative time server. Once it is done PDC server will sync with external time and point other DC to PDC server name/IP in NTPserver list to sync with it.

Configuring Windows Time for Active Directory:
you need to modify the registry keys listed in the below KB article for whichever DC is configured as your PDC Emulator in your forest root domain.
