Issues trying to change domain controller time. 2

[truwarrior22]

I have a setup of 4 domain controllers that are running 6 minutes to fast. Whenever I change the system time in the OS it shortly changes back to 6 minutes ahead again. Does anyone know how to safely set back the time 6 minutes? Thanks!

Determine what server is the FSMO role holder and change the time on it first. Make sure that on your firewall you have UDP port 123 open for time sync with the Windows Time Server.

Another option is to sync with an atomic clock.

I hope you find this post helpful.

As Mark mentions, find which holds the PDC emulator role. That's the one responsible for syncing time with the rest of the domain.
