windows time synchro

Question

Hello.

I have an NTP server and more than 10 computers and the time is synchronized.

I checked that all computers have time synchronization with the NTP server normally.

After a while, I noticed that the computers had a time difference of about 1 second.

The biggest difference is 2 seconds.

Synchronization with the NTP server is working normally, and even if you request synchronization, it is confirmed as normal, but the time is still 2 seconds apart.

I want to set the time gap between computers to less than 1 second.

Please let me know how to fix it and reason.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hi,
Based on my research,
Support boundary for high-accuracy time
"Earlier versions of Windows (Prior to Windows 10 1607 or Windows Server 2016 1607) cannot guarantee highly accurate time."

Time accuracy in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 has been substantially improved, while maintaining full backwards NTP compatibility with older Windows versions.
Under the right operating conditions, systems running Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 and newer releases can deliver 1 second, 50ms (milliseconds), or 1ms accuracy.

For how to configure the system to get the accurate time, you can refer to the article provided by DSPatric.

Best Regards,
