Is the PDC a VM by any chance? If so, then of course check the VM settings to make sure it doesn’t sync with the host.
You could try “w32tm /resync /rediscover”. It would seem that the reboot would be enough, but try that and give it some time. One thing odd about the /manualpeerlist switch is that the whole **switch** needs to be in quotes when there are multiple sources specified, but it looks like you’re only using one. I mention it only because I’ve been burned by that before. *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Jimmy Tran *Sent:* Thursday, February 2, 2017 9:11 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* [NTSysADM] can't set NTP time source on PDC Hi Guys, I’ve been having trouble changing the Windows time source to any outside NTP server. It is current set to local but the time is off so I wanted to set it to an outside time source. When I run “w32tm /query /status”, it shows (source name: “LOCL”). So now I run “w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org /reliable:yes /update” and it completes successfully. I’ll restart the time service and do a query again but it still shows LOCL. I am doing this on the PDC on the domain. I’ve tried a reboot and even unregistering w32tm but nothing helps. I’m out of ideas. Thanks, JT
