You need to configure your root PDC to sync with a external ntp server. I
wrote before "The PDC gonna sync its tme from a external source and then
internal resources gonna sync the time from the PDC" which is an other
description of Jorge Silva's explnation of how the time syncronazation works.

Hi
That's the default behavior, each client/and/member server syncs with their
authenticated DC, and each DC syncs with their PDCe, Each PDCe syncs with
the PDCe at the Root, and the Root PDCe should be sync with a valid
external/internal Time source

Hello

Seeking suggestion from expertise...

There is an AD environement, which is spread accross the cities. And every
branch office has ADC configured. I need to configure such a way that all
ADCs time source should be a root DC and clients time source should be
respective site ADC.

I think have explained in brief, any suggestion from experts will help me
to
address the problem...

Thanks in advance
Santosh K.
