Step 1

Determine the PDC (Primary Domain Controller) Emulator in your AD domain.


On a server in your domain, open command prompt and issue the following command:

 

dsquery server -hasfsmo pdc

 

the output will be in quotation marks, and will start with a Canonical Name which will identify the PDC Emulator in your domain, such as:

 

"CN=INT-DC1, ...."


Go to that DC's console, and open a command prompt.


Step 2

Run the following command on the PDC emulator:

 

 

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update 

 

 

Note: the value 'time.microsoft.com' is a sample timeserver . you can use a space delimited list of your favorite time servers. check out http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ or this suggested list.


Once done, restart W32Time service. To do this, from an elevated command prompt:

 

net stop "windows time"

 

 and then:


net start "windows time"

 


Step3

Run the following command on *all* other domain controllers in the domain:

 

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update 

 


Once done, restart W32Time service, as shown above.
