Hello! I'm trying to force one windows server (server is in domain) to sync time with another server (Linux) who acts as NTP server. I'm trying to do this just for this windows server. Does anybody knows proper procedure because everything I tried doesn't work? Thank you!

Best regards!

    Hello @WW-6729

    To synchonize the time from a different time source, you need to execute the next from an elevated command prompt:

    ******/config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:<serverIP>,0x8 /reliable:yes /update

    ******/config /update

    net stop w32time

    net start w32time

    Other resources, guides, and paramters for configuring w32time can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/windows-time-service/windows-time-service-tools-and-settings

    Hope this helps with your query,
