Houston, TX | Windows 2008R2 Domain and time sync Hello,
I have 2 Domain controllers, a few member servers and several client members. All the clients sync their times with the Domain, however, the member servers are out of sync.
Are all the members of a domain supposed to sync their time with the Domain? Or is this something i have to manually setup in 2008r2??
Thanks |

| I've run into this before and used w32tm to make sure they are pointing at my DC. Not sure why they fall off, but it is easy to fix.

Are the member servers VMs? May want to check they aren't syncing with the host if so.

Ah yes, the dreaded default 'Sync time with Host' check box. Especially annoying on DCs running as VMs with domain-joined hosts: The vicious circle of inaccurate time. |

Citrix XenServer doesnt have that option.
In my previous 2003 domain all member server synced time with the DCs, i think i ll have to do it manually with the w32tm.
Thanks. |

It's weird, MS docs say that the PDC emulator should, byt default, have the TIMESERV and/or GTIMESERV flags on; but mine didnt.
Sometime ago when i configured w32tm's peer list, i left /reliable:yes out so maybe that's why the flags werent on, i reissued the command and now the flags are ON.
Thanks |
