Hi,
not sure where to post this really so i've posted it here because of trying to configure time for existing virtual domain controllers
so, we have the following setup for how time works:
Server1 is a virtual domain controller, it gets its time from the integration components in hyper-v
Server2 is the hyper-v host, it gets its time from Server3
Server3 is a physical domain controller, it gets its time from Server1
The above was all shown using w32tm /query /source on each server
This causes a loop of dependencies, but out of curiosity - how on earth did my time not drift by hours/days/weeks in this setup - its been running for at least a year like this, its a closed loop. Neither Server1 or Server3 are the PDC, that's actually another domain controller not included in the above. Can anyone shed any light on this? it's no big deal, my time was only out by like 2 minutes but im puzzled by how it would be only 2 minutes because server1 would have accumulated some clock skew.
Cheers
Steve
