Is the PDC virtual? If it is, it could be pulling the time from the vm host.
Is the vmhost set to the proper NTP server
("0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org") and not the PDC?

Subject: [NTSysADM] time not syncing
Hi all,
i have follows these instructions to the letter, and have confirmed the values
exist and are accurate in the registry of the 2008r2 DC, it remains 10 minutes
off
All the computers, clients and servers, have the same time so its not causing
any authentication issues (thankfully) but its annoying not be able to get the
correct time
1. First, locate your PDC Server. Open the command prompt and type:
C:\>netdom /query fsmo
2. Log in to your PDC Server and open the command prompt.
3. Stop the W32Time service: C:\>net stop w32time
4. Configure the external time sources, type: C:\> w32tm /config
/syncfromflags:manual
/manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org"
5. Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. Type: C:\>w32tm
/config /reliable:yes
6. Start the w32time service: C:\>net start w32time
7. The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. You can
check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: C:\>w32tm
/query /configuration
when i run this command w32tm /stripchart /computer:0.pool.ntp.org /samples:5
/dataonly
C:\>w32tm /stripchart /computer:0.pool.ntp.org /samples:5 /dataonly
Tracking 0.pool.ntp.org [15.126.193.186:123].
Collecting 5 samples.
