The time is out / incorrect on a Windows domain controller (DC)

You may need to run these commands to fix the time on a domain controller if it is too slow or fast. If the time on the client PCs is over 5 minutes out it can start causing problems with things.

Administrative command prompt

Code:

W32tm /config /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org /reliable:yes /syncfromflags:manual

Code:

W32tm /config /update

And to check

Code:

w32tm /query /status

Optional if it doesn't sync itself..
Net stop w32time
Net start w32time

Clients should update their time from the domain controller.


How to set the time from a command prompt run “net time /set”

Note:
Use /reliable:yes on DC’s and /reliable:no on std servers that way clients will update from the DC’s
