Configuring NTP Server in Windows Server

The following method can be applied to configure an NTP server on a Windows server with primary domain controller (PDC).

Configuration via command prompt

net stop w32time

w32tm / config /manualpeerlist:0.tr.pool.ntp.org / syncfromflags: MANUAL (0.tr.pool.ntp.org is preferred here)

net start w32time

Finally, let’s check out the change. It is seen that the change is reflected in the source section as follows.

w32tm / query / status
