Hello! I need help with Windows Time service. THe situation is: there is a single domain controller and I need to sync its local time with time.windows.com. So I prepared Default Domain Controllers Policy:
Computer configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Windows Time Service->Time Providers:
Enable Windows NTP Server=Yes
Enable Windows NTP Client=Yes
Configure Windows NTP Client=Yes (Type=NTP, NtpServer=time.windows.com,0x9)
So I run "gpupdate" and checked w32tm configuration:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\Administrator>w32tm /query /configuration
[Configuration]
EventLogFlags: 2 (Local)

VMICTimeProvider (Local)
DllName: C:\Windows\System32\vmictimeprovider.dll (Local)
Enabled: 1 (Local)

Now I check source:
w32tm /query /source
time.windows.com,0x9
But if I restart this domain controller and try to check configuration again:
w32tm /query /source
Local CMOS clock
Why it's happening? What am I doing wrong? Thank you for answers.
