  • But In your Policy you have not attached to any scope then how the policy is working for you!!

  • Hi sir, i followed your steps but i i type w32tm /query /status

    It shows, its not sync and the ntp source is the CMOS

  • This process will synchronizes only time or its server time format also…!!

  • Absolutely fantastic tutorial! What a great benefit, thank you!! I had to restart my server before the clients would pick it up, even after doing the forced update a couple times. Just FYI if anyone else has that issue.

  • Hi Saud,
    Could you help me please, contact me or confirm to me that it is the same way to configure ntp server with two redundant server on a domain ?
    I want to make my main and backup server synced with my ntp server
    I have for exemple my personal NTP server with ip 10.120.181.100
    My main server
    And my backup server which is interconnected to the main and its role is start when failover.
    Thanks for your help.

  • You need to also change the type on the first policy to be NTP instead of NT5DS. Otherwise the other settings do not apply.

  • Thank you very much
    I have tested those configs and my problem was solved but, I did not implement the "Enable Windows NTP server" and I did not configure the service

  • doesn't work. the status showed source IP is correct and sources is pointing to my DC but time remaining unchanged.
