How to configure Domain Controller (DC) as NTP time server

 

If server is in a Hyper-V VM

If your Windows Server machine is a VM inside Hyper-V, you have to disable time sync. Go to:

  • VM settings->  Management->  Integration Services

and uncheck:

  • Time Synchronization.

 

Configure Windows Time Service (NTP) on the Domain Controller

  • w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org /syncfromflags:MANUAL

 

Apply the changes by restarting the time service (stop and then start)

  • Stop-Service w32time
  • Start-Service w32time

 

Configure Windows Clients

Go to the client machines and run the following command on PowerShell to force them to sync their time/clock with the domain controller;

  • w32tm /resync

 

Check Status

You can check the time synchronization status using the following command.

  • w32tm /query /status

 

If Time Service does not exist 

  • w32tm /unregister
  • w32tm /register
