Hi,
I am trying to clean up invalid NTP traffic and I have many VM servers that are trying to get time from an invalid NTP server. I'd like to know how I can remove the peer entry without having to update the domain NTP time source entry.
As an example, here is what I see on one of the servers:
C:\Users\Administrator>w32tm /query /peers /verbose
#Peers: 2
Peer: xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxxxx <=== Actual entry was one of our DC's (Fully qualified)
State: Active
