Time out of sync on Domain Controller Windows Server 2019

Question

Hi,

I created and promoted domain controller on my ESXi host.

On the host I've got correct time:

But on DC is not:

I tried to repair w32tm on registry, but it doesn't fix it.

I need to get correct time on DC, how to fix it? Before I haven't had this problem when I deployed DC.

Answer 1

Then make sure host time sync is turned off within integration services (VM Tools) then also do

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

Answer 2

Are you trying to sync with host? or with some other source?

Some general info

• All domain members should use NT5DS domain time.
• Desktops and member servers sync with any domain controller.
• Domain controllers sync with PDC emulator (one per domain)
• PDC emulator in child domain can sync with any domain controller in parent domain.
• PDC emulator in parent domain syncs with either a hardware clock or possibly an external source.

Answer 3

The NTP server used may be problematic. Might try another.

I'd check the system event log for Time-Service events.
