If you haven't changed default setting, once it is synched, the time service should resync every 8 hrs once it has pulled itself in. 2 minutes is a bit much. Check the eventlog.

If successful, the time service should walk itself back in From: Phillip Partipilo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 8:29 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Times My cellphone and my DCs are all in sync, using the NTP pool, but oddly, now that this thread has come up, my workstation is 2 minutes off.
