Hi,
I wonder if anyone can clear something up for me.
We have two hosts running failover cluster and hyper-v. On these hosts we two Virtual DCs (one of which is our PDC) as well as a number of member servers. In Hyper-V integration services we have set the time synchronisation option for each server including the DCs. Each host is joined to the domain so that Failover Cluster works. We also have two physical domain controllers.
When we run w32tm /query /source we can see that the VMs, including the Virtual DCs are getting their time from the Hosts (VM IC Time Synchronization Provider) and when we run w32tm /query /source on the hosts we find that they are getting the time from each other (host1 has host2 and host2 has host1).
We are experiencing some time drift and I wonder whether this is due to the PDC getting its time from the host, instead of having its w32time type parameter setup to be NTP instead of NT5DS?
What's the best practice for a situation like this??
Thanks in advance!
Stephen
