How to change time source from "Local CMOS Clock" to "DC"

In a domain, I want to set DC as time server.

To do that I use this command:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:europe.pool.ntp.org /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

and

w32tm /resync /rediscover

In the client servers I use

net time \\<comp.name.of.ad> /set /y 

but some of the clients still use Local CMS Clock.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

I also run

w32tm /resync [/computer:<computer>] [/nowait] [/rediscover]

on client end but the time server is still Local CMOS Clock for the client.

On the AD source is what I set. (nist.expertssmi.com)

On the clientend, source is Local CMOS Clock

Solution 1:

To configure a client computer or a member server to sync time from the domain, run the following command:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

And then stop and restart the time service by running:

net stop w32time && net start w32time

This should be all you need to do.

Solution 2:

I went thru all the above on my domain joined Windows 10 machine trying to get it to resync. What fixed this for me was I first ran DCDIAG on my domain controller and saw the error that said this server is not advertising as a time server. So then I ran w32tm /query /status on my DC. Which returned an answer of vmnic something. My DC was using the time integration services from the Hyper-V host. I went to the Hyper V Manager and went to the setting on my DC and removed the check box from time integration services. Then I reset my DC to use an external time source: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time2.google.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update Then run: net stop w32time and net start w32time Now when I went back to my Windows 10 clients I could run: w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update and net stop w32time and then net start w32time That fixed the time sync immediately. After about 15 minutes the rest of my domain joined PC's had also updated to the correct time. Hope this helps you!
