Ran the command w32tm /configure /manualpeerlist:"time.windows.com" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
We changed the setting from NT5DS to NTP under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type.
Changed time in seconds to 900 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient\SpecialPollInterval
Changed time in seconds to 1800 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxPosPhaseCorrection
Changed time in seconds to 1800 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxNegPhaseCorrection
It also took some time for the time to get sync
The client machine can sync time from any of the domain controllers. It’s not necessary that it will be the PDC one. So the machine on which we are seeing the difference of few seconds might be getting sync from the other DCs that weren't in sync with PDC yet.
From the PDC I am running the following command - which says that my DC is going 3 minutes faster than time.windows.com
How do I fix this?
C:\Users\administrator.SYRACUSE>w32tm /monitor /computers:time.windows.com
time.windows.com[65.55.59.60:123]:
ICMP: error IP_REQ_TIMED_OUT - no response in 1000ms
NTP: +191.3552280s offset from local clock
RefID: time.nist.gov [192.43.244.18]
Stratum: 2
Warning:
Reverse name resolution is best effort. It may not be
correct since RefID field in time packets differs across
NTP implementations and may not be using IP addresses.
