Time Synch Issue in Win Server OS

0

There is time sync issue in couple of server's. Below is the Description

There are two identical server's with same OS and same set of software's running. And they are pretty new server's.In every 30 Min or so OS time gets changed to some random time. There is no chance of CMOS battery going bad. As these are new we even replaced the motherboard.

I ran the W32tm /query /status command in two of the server's and below is what i see.

Source in two server differ and also Stratum: 1 (primary reference - syncd by radio clock) and ReferenceId: 0x4C4F434C (source name: "LOCL").

How do i get the Problematic server running with correct time.

You can use NetTime to configure automatic SNTP clock synchronization. It is very fast and very reliable.

If you are running hyper-v and hosting a domain controller, that will cause all sorts of time drift. I found that if I run [nistime32.exe1 on the physical hyper-v machine, it solves my time drift problem. I recommend creating a scheduled task that runs every hour to solve the problem.
