I have Run w32tm /config /update /syncfromflags:MANUAL /manualpeerlist:
"navobs1.oar.net" and also verified HKLM\System\CCS\Services\w32time\Parameters
Type=NTP is set. I stopped and started w32time, and still the PDC-E points to
itself. Or at least that is what I think it is saying. Isn't LOCL in the
following telling me that it is looking at itself instead of an external time
source?
w32tm /monitor
dc1.domain.com *** PDC *** [10.100.110.12]:
ICMP: 0ms delay.
NTP: +0.0000000s offset from dc1.domain.com

Hi Douglas,
To configure domain members and DCs to use the default behavior, either
Run w32tm /config /update /syncfromflags:DOMHIER
Or check the following registrykey
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\w32time\Parameters
Type=NT5DS
To configure a server to use a NTP-Timesource (what you want to do on the PDC-E
of the forest root):
Run w32tm /config /update /syncfromflags:MANUAL /manualpeerlist:"fqdn1 fqdn2
ip1"
Or check the following registrykeys
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\w32time\Parameters
Type=NTP
NTPServer="fqdn1 fqdn2 ip1"
To configure a server to trust his BIOS-Clock (test-environment) or which is
getting it's time from a 3rd party soft- or hardware attached locally check the
following reg-keys:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\w32time\Parameters
Type=NoSync
ReliableTimeSource = 1 (reg_dword)
Afterwards I'd restart w32time using
net stop w32time && net start w32time
Gruesse - Sincerely,
Ulf B. Simon-Weidner

Subject: [ActiveDir] Time Service
I have read the Time Service white paper from Microsoft and am still confused.
I have set the default domain GPO to use NT5DS under Configure Windows NTP
Client, and set an external time server (navobs1.oar.net,0x1) for NTPServer. I
have also set Enable Windows NTP Server to enabled. There are no other time
related GPOs set in the domain. I was under the assumption that with that
setting my PDC emulator (DC1) should be synching with navobs1.oar.net,0x1 and
the other DC synchs with the PDC emulator, and then all clients synch to the
closest DC. When I run a w32tm /monitor from the either DC or from any clients,
I get the following.
dc1.domain.com *** PDC *** [10.100.110.12]:
ICMP: 0ms delay.
NTP: +0.0000000s offset from dc1.domain.com
RefID: 'LOCL' [76.79.67.76]
dc2.domain.com [10.100.110.13]:
ICMP: 0ms delay.
NTP: +0.0226641s offset from dc1.domain.com
RefID: dc1.domain.com [10.100.110.12]
When I run it from a client:
dc1.domain.com *** PDC *** [10.100.110.12]:
ICMP: 0ms delay.
NTP: +0.0000000s offset from dc1.domain.com
RefID: 'LOCL' [76.79.67.76]
dc2.domain.com [10.100.110.13]:
ICMP: 8ms delay.
NTP: +0.0342476s offset from dc1.domain.com
RefID: dc1.domain.com [10.100.110.12]
What I am seeing is that everything is working except DC1 is not synching with
an external time server. Is that correct, or am I reading that wrong? If it
isn't synching with an external time source, what setting am I missing?
