Thanks -tjs 
 
I've tried the command and is synced straight up so I'll monitor over the next few days. 
 
Thanks for the tip on disabling time sync on the virtual components - I had already disabled that.

Hi All, 
 
The following was 'accidentally' run on a domain member to try to get it's time to sync correctly. 
 
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042</a>&nbsp;(Configuring the Windows Time service to use an external time source). This server is a member of a Windows 2008 Domain and is a virtual machine running in VMWare. The 'time sync with host' option is disabled and the DC syncs with time.windows.com 
 
The member server always seems to be 2 minutes behind. 
 
I've tried the following commands - SERVERDUB01 is a DC on the network and SERVERDUB03 is the server that's 2 minutes behind. 
 
w32tm /config /computer:localhost /manualpeerlist:serverdub01,0x1 
 
net time /setsntp:serverdub01 
net time /set 
 
w32tm, /resync /rediscover 
 
If I run a w32tm /query /status on SERVERDUB03 it shows SERVERDUB01 as it's NTP Server. 
 
None of this has worked. 
 
Any ideas? 
 
Thank you.
