Domain Time is Fast

Question

My time runs fast by 4 minutes. I've tried changing to a government time server. It doesn't change. How do I fix it?

Still 4 minutes off....

Answer 1

Ok, some new information. You can uncheck this one, then via PowerShell confirm. May want to reboot after making changes.

Answer 2

Assuming this is the PDC emulator you could;

w32tm /unregister
net stop w32time
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<ntp ip address> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time
then check
w32tm /query /source
w32tm /query /configuration

May need to be patient. Read on here about possible correction algorithm.

Answer 5

I did the above last Friday. The time still is not accurate. Is there anyway to force a negative offset?

I'm currently doing all of the above on the domain controller. Have run gpudate and am still experiencing fast time.
