PDC Emulator change and Windows Time Service
The CPA firm that I work for is splitting, half is joining another firm and the other half will continue on with business as normal. Server hardware will be split, the half that's leaving will be taking the DC (Server1) that held the FSMO roles. I have already moved all FSMO roles to a DC (Server2) that's staying. My question is what are the steps to reconfigure the network time service from Server1 to Server2?
Server1 & Server2 are both Server 2012 R2
Thanks in Advance

you could export those registry keys on server1 then backup the same ones on server2 and restore the ones from server1 to server2 then restart windows time service

Rodney,
After I get server2 configured should I execute the commands w32tm /unregister and w32 /register to reset Server1 to default so it will use the domain time server hierarchy & not external servers or would /syncfromflags:DOMHIER accomplish that?
Thanks
