Thanks for the PM's offering ideasI am tempted to set it back to 0. to debug the offending ntp pool IP, but it was breaking all the backups among other things due to AD sync being more than 5 mins out.I always use the below config for domain controllers:sc config W32Time start= auto & net start W32Timew32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.au.pool.ntp.org 2.au.pool.ntp.org 3.au.pool.ntp.org" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update & w32tm /resync /nowaitOne of the replies noted that linux sanity checks by getting ntp time from 4 servers - I wish MS were that smart.Clearly MS are not using all the configured servers, I suspect they are purely for failover like a DNS client.I have just changed this site to:w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"3.au.pool.ntp.org" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update & w32tm /resync /nowaitSo far so good.. still stableAll Domain members of course sync to the DCI am not seeing this on any other sites.. all sites are cookie cutter for meevent logs confirm ONLY the change... not the server IP :(The system time has changed to 2019-01-31T01:47:11.254922100Z from 2019-01-31T02:18:29.514800000Z.

The ntp pools hand out random NTP server IPs, it's not a fixed server.
I'm not a Windows server admin, but this would likely be why Linux connects to ~4 NTP servers so it can disregard dodgy servers.

Hi All, I have a domain controller seemingly receiving bad time info today from 0.au.pool.ntp.orgIssuing this confirmed the time was flapping forward 30 mins, then 30 mins later back to normal:
w32tm /query /status
It confirmed the above ntp server as the server that supplied the bad (then good, then bad, then good etc) timeI have now changed the DC to pull instead from 3.au.pool.ntp.org.1 hour has passed and so far so good.
Cannot say I have ever seen anything like this...It's only occurring on one site on a windows2008r2sp1 domain controller.The DC in turn relays this updated time to all domain members of course.Anyone else had time issues on any sites today in Aus?
