Is this a virtual DC? if so, change virtual machine settings not to synchronize time from the host.

You can set your time service using a GPO and as per Idan post, check that your virtual machines aren't syncing with the hosts

Hi,

You can try command below on DC where you are getting time difference.

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:NTP_server_IP_Address,0x8 /syncfromflags:MANUAL

NTP_server_IP_Address : IP-address of PDC Domain controller.

Hello,

"when i have change the correct time in my DC"

You should not change time manually. it should follow the sync process.

Whats your source ?

Type w32tm /query /source in CMD to check the time source (Run CMD as Admin).

Time sync for windows AD environment is well documented here. Please refer and correct.

Hello,

the domain time has to be set on the PDCEmulator and not on any other DC. So is that the case?

Is the PDCEmulator also configured to an external time source? http://blogs.msmvps.com/mweber/2010/06/27/time-configuration-in-a-windows-domain/

What about the virtual machine que
