Set External NTP on DC

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I am on my DC with the PDC role. I am trying to get it to use NTP Pool as the time source so we get accurate time. I am running these commands

 

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:MANUAL

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 1.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 2.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 3.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1"

net stop w32time && net start w32time

w32tm /resync /nowait

 

But when i run w32tm /query /source it shows the NTP pool server for a while and eventually changes back to "Local CMOS Clock"

 

What am i doing wrong please?

 

Thanks

What happens if you sling a " /reliable:yes" in there? Like:

 

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:timeserver(s) /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

Is this a virtual server or physical? If it's virtual you might need to turn off the time synchronisation service or similar.

This is a command I've run before on 2008r2

 

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:0.uk.pool.ntp.org,1.uk.pool.ntp.org,2.uk.pool.ntp.org,3.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 /reliable:yes /update
