Hi
Adding
Adding:
Each DC get the date from the PDCe for their domain, and all existing PDCes should sync their Date with the PDCe at the Root Domain. By default the non-DCs got it from the authenticated DCs which get it from the PDCe.
Please refer to the following MS article for an in-depth explanation of the Windows 2003 time services:

I have a problem where a remote site domain controller is being used by all clients as the preferred time sync server. I have never configured this. I have always left the defaults for the time services so in other words the DC in our Corporate office holding the master roles (PDC Emulator) SHOULD be the preferred time server for all domain clients. Even clients and servers in my corporate office are pointing to this remote dc as their preferred time server and I dont know why they have chosen it, since I have never configured any time services on it.
If I stop the time service on this server, after about 20 minutes or maybe with domain replication the clients will start pointing back to the corporate PDC. I have the corporate PDC set to sync with time.microsoft.com, even the remote dc in question has been configured to point to the PDC but afte running any of the commands like w32tm /resync and then restart time service on this remote DC it keeps pointing to itself, it will never update to point to the PDC.
Any ideas?...this is frustrating as hell and causing us some severe problems as we are in multiple time zones!
Is it okay to disable the time service on remote DC's if you want the clients syncing with the PDC of the domain?
Im trying to at least get all clients back on the same ground...I just cant understand how the heck my servers and clients in the head office are looking to this remote DC as their time server, DHCP even specifies the PDC as the time server for clients.
Your help is appreciated!
