Configure WINDOWS domain controller to synchronize network time
Recently I discovered that the company's domain controller and the computer time in the domain are out of sync with the time on the Internet, always several minutes behind.
Solution:
Set up an NTP server and synchronize time with the external network. Here are the setup steps:
Modify the PDC primary domain controller to synchronize the Internet time server:
Primary domain controller modification
Run gpedit.msc to open the local policy group (Winserver2012 and 2016 should be the same), the path is: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Windows Time Service:
Configure Windows NTP client
You can choose to use the NTP server ntp.ntsc.ac.cn of the National Time Service Center, and the suffix will not be "0x09", as shown in the screenshot above
Or you can also use Alibaba Cloud's NTP server, choose one of the following:
Enable Windows NTP client
Restart the windows time service
Run "services.msc" to enter the service management interface, find windwos time, click "Stop->Run" as shown below, observe the time synchronization of the host and domain control, and the configuration is completed.
As shown below, click "Stop->Run" to observe the time synchronization between the host and the domain controller. The configuration is now complete.
