W32tm Windows 2012

Just a question on the time service


If I manually move a member servers time to 2 hours in future.    Should it return to same time as the pdc (which is the time source )

With out using the resync command.  


It doesn’t (waited 12 hours )


Everything set as default.

The resync interval is set in the Registry.  There may be a GPO setting related to it, but the Registry setting is what the system uses.

Now there is some discussion about whether this actually works on later revisions of Windows.  Personally I have found it to work as advertised, but some claim it does not.

Here is an interesting article that offers a solution to this.
