I adjusted the time of my DC by a few minutes. How long will it take the
rest of the workstations to adjust to the new time.

Re: Time Sync

Hello NewsGrp,

In a domain, time synchronization takes place when Windows Time Service turns
on during system startup and periodically while the system is running. In
the default configuration, the Net Logon service looks for a domain controller
that can authenticate and synchronize time with the client. When a domain
controller is found, the client sends a request for time and waits for a
reply from the domain controller.

For the DC you choose, make sure that it is the PDCEmulator, this one is
the time source in a domain, NO other DC.

If you like to have an immediate update you can use this command:
To configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:

net stop w32time

net start w32time


Best regards
