Time descrepency between domain controller and member server

My authoritive DC is getting the time properly from an internet time
provider. One of my member servers (which is part of a cluster) is properly
syncing time with the DC according to the System log. However, the time is
off by over two minutes. I did a w32tm /resync /rediscover and the System
log reports the time is syncing properly but the time is still off. I
manually changed the time so that it was within several seconds of the DC
and tried the command again. It was still off. Any ideas what is happening
here?

Thanks!

Hello Saucer,

Try out this way:

1. Open a Command Prompt.

2. Type the following command and then press ENTER:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

3. Type the following command and then press ENTER:

net stop w32time

4. Type the following command and then press ENTER:

net start w32time

I hate debugging time problems.

If Meinolf's tips don't help, here some additional info to possibly guide
you. Make sure you are monitoring your event log to make sure there isn't
some error that is blocking this.
