Too fast for an old dog like me... and the print on my screen was so small that I had to wear two pair of reading glasses... BUT... Thanks to you, I finally have all my servers time-synced! Thank you very much!

Thank you very much that is the professional solution, I watch and I implement it into my environment which is up to 120 PC and 12 servers and it sync as it should be.

This video is extremely helpful thank you so much. You are amazing Neel!

Thank you, very informative! I have to comment though that if Google designed this, it would just be a checkbox that said, "sync domain workstations time with domain controller" and it would just work with no need to reboot anything.

detailed to the max and it works perfectly. Great job bro

Its further ado. no Further dudoo... but I really appreciate your video., it was very helpful.

Thank you for the video. When you make this group policy change. How long does it take for the machines to receive that policy? I don't have access to all my machines to run group policy update. Also is there a way to sync the time with the server every certain number of days?

[paulasmar]

you rock Neel thanks a lot for the great learning video

[LogicArray]

Hi
I believe no need for a policy since the NT5DS will the default protocol for domain environment. Kindly feel to comment my thinking?

[armaniE]

Excellent video. Only question I have is I have two DC's. Can I group them together or do I have to great a GP for both of them. Tks!

Dear
Thank you very much it was very helpful. Windows 7 time going 1 hour early -timezone is same as Windows 10- how can I sync Windows 7 time

[naqibnazri]

Hi Neel, is it possible to setup windows server as ntp server then I need to point all my routers to the win ntp server with authentication, please reply me with advice as I have search many resources regarding this. Thank you in advance!

Hi Neel, I think your solution fixed NTP time sync issue totally. If current member server is out of NTP time sync with domain controller, when I implement this solution, GPO will take precedence and time sync will be fixed right away after gpupdate right?

Thank you so much, it was really helpful ❤️

Will it work for WINServer 2019 data center GP ?
