Fix Time Sync Problems on Windows Domain

Fix Time Sync Problems on Windows Domain

  • Confirm outside time source is working
  • Identify PDCe in root AD domain: logon to a root DC and run
    NETDOM QUERY PDC
  • Logon PDCe and confirm no errors are returned when syncing:
    W32TM /SYNC
  • Create a file with names of all DC's in root domain (except the PDCe) using the following command:
    NETDOM QUERY DC > ROOTLIST.TXT
  • Cleanup the file and run the following commands to reset the DC's to update time from the domain hierarchy and then sync time.
    PSEXEC @ROOTLIST.TXT W32TM /CONFIG /SYNCFROMFLAGS:DOMHIER /UPDATE
    PSEXEC @ROOTLIST.TXT W32TM /RESYNC /REDISCOVER
  • Confirm time synced:
    W32TM /MONITOR
  • Create a file with the names of all the DC's in the subdomain and repeat the above for the subdomain.
  • Repeat for workstations.
