Hi, Windows time services uses the hierarchical relationship and all the domain clients use the PDC as their time source. this is by default. You can find the PDC role by running and querying to find the roles in your domain with this : netdom query fsmo<br />
<br />
You can check the configuration from the client from the above reg qeury. You have other w32tm commands where you can find the Polling interval from the client to it time source.

What about the other device or appliance which may contact the PDC for time synch, is there any log that I can turn on to gather the IP address ?
