Viewed 3k times. The clocks must be within a second of each other. Is it correct for us to ask for "within second" or we need to ditch Quartz entirely?

If yes, what changes are recommended for our setup? Improve this question. Leotsarev Leotsarev 2 2 silver badges 6 6 bronze badges.

Syncing to one second is nothing , even on virtual servers which have notoriously poor time stability on their own. Three minutes?! Having a laugh. You can't run a network that way.

I agree; this was just an aside. I'm with you that NTP is more than fast enough, but VMware does not recommend using integration services to sync time, in most though not all cases regular NTP does a better and faster job. As your concern is with relative time between servers, you can use NTP to synchronise them with network switches which in turn synchronise with your ISP - no extra hardware required.

If the problem is caused by the wrong configuration on client, you could follow the article which is provided by above to fix the problem.

In addition, I suggest you check the port status on PDC first. For more information, you could refer to the article below. Configure the Time Source for the Forest. Best Regards,. Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help.

If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact tnmff microsoft. I would also suggest you check the VM settings. It can happen that there is a checkbox selected that configures the VM to take time from EX host.

This setting can also be configured in VMWare tools as far as I remember. If you having trouble to apply the setting to the w32tm configuration, try to edit the local GPO in gpedit.
