This is from the Help for w32tm: manualpeerlist:<peers> - sets the manual peer list to <peers>, which is a *space-delimited* list of DNS and/or IP addresses. When specifying multiple peers, this switch must be enclosed in quotes.

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? From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 7:50 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 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. The current time is 2/17/2014 10:55:41 AM. 10:55:41, -607.5560514s 10:55:43, -607.5602488s 10:55:45, -607.5647196s 10:55:47, -607.5687176s 10:55:49, -607.5880149s
