Primary DC time is wrong
I have a 2008 DC that is 5 min. ahead. I am unable to manually adjust the time. I know the setting must be in the registry, but what are the steps to correcting this? Also all the client computers and other server are syncing time with this Server.
Thanks
Thanks
One more article for whichever DC is configured as PDC Emulator role owner in your forest root domain.

check that the server is not synchronising the time with thirdy part time server.Check the servies on the server is there any thirdy part time service.Uninstall the same if not required.
Install the latest Daylight saving patch on the server if not installed.

I tried some of the solutions, but when I do a w32tm /resync command its changes for like ten seconds. The it changes its self back to being 5 minutes ahead. Any ideas?

IT is a VM on Hyper-V. Sorry forgot to mention that. How do you stop it syncing time? On the Hyper-V host side or the client Side? Thanks,

Never mind I know how to do it. It’s under the VM settings within Hyper-V Manager. You have to select Integration Services. Then you just have to uncheck the box for Time Synchronization. Thanks for the Direction Sandeshdubey... I'll let you know if it doesn’t work...
On the physical host.

On the VM server
1) Disable the Hyper-V Time Synchronization Service inside the VM.
2)Delete the following registry subtree: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
3)Set the correct time on the server and reboot the server.
4)Configure authorative time on the server.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042
Note:Backup the resgistery before you proceed.
