* Configure time sync to a reliable source on the forest rood domain PDC Emulator ONLY.ĭo not perform on any other DC in any domain in the forest. You can see the current time service configuration entries, such as: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
This command dumps the current registry settings found in:. The “ n” value is the number of time samples that will be returned from the target to test basic NTP communications. This command will show you the time difference between the local computer and a target computer and is helpful in determining if there is an offset. w32tm /stripchart /computer: target /samples: n /dataonly. This shows the current time zone to make sure it’s correct. Good example result showing the DC02 is syncing with :. You will see an “offset for the PDC from its configured NTP source. On all other DCs, this command shows the current time source DC for this DC. On the PDC Emulator, this command shows the outside time source.ĭ *** PDC ***:. w32tm /monitor or w32tm /monitor /computers:DCNAME. –The NTP source IPaddress/FQDN This is correct. CMOS clock -Signifies not synced to an external source (Not what you want to see). On the PDC Emulator, this shows the actual source. For all other DCs, use the command, w32tm /monitor (step 4 below). Type: NTP (Local) –This command it is syncing externally. Type: NT5DS (Local) -This means that it’s not synced externally. This command confirms the PDC Emulator shows the current source in the section, Look for “Type:” You will see one of the following:. If you do not see expected results immediately, wait 10 min and re-run the following steps. Note: In some cases you must wait a little time for the service to instantiate. Ad pdc to synchronize with an external time windows#
All Windows Server domain operating systems – run the following on the forest root domain PDC Emulator. First check and document the current configuration:. The procedure will also remove any errors in the Event Viewer, if any existed.ĭo not use if you are using a third party stratum service and refer to the vendor’s documentation for further instructions Check and Document the Current Time Configuration on the PDC Emulator The following steps can be used to configure DCs the default Windows time service hierarchy in an AD forest. In this blog, I’ve condensed it and made it much easier to read by offering the steps as a pseudo flowchart. However, the blog has so much information in it, you may have got lost trying to figure out exactly what to do. Configuring the Windows Time Service in an Active Directory Forest – A step by step with a Contingency PlanĪs many of you that follow my blog know that I have blogged about the Time Service in the past.
