The FSMO role holder is the only machine syncing to an external time source. On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 10:49 AM, Andrew S.

This kept causing the time to go back and forth and it turned out the ESX systems were getting skewed from the NTP source at a greater rate. So let the domain do its thing with the servers by setting time.

The 2008 R2 server runs faster. Watching the clock it actually tickets about 3 real seconds to 5 seconds on the clock in the console. Needless to say this puts stuff out of sync pretty quick. Looked online and I found a few posts regarding some weird time services, but nothing Microsoft or VMware. Anyone seen this before? The 2003 Server runs normally. I can resync against the DC and they are out of sync by 15 seconds in under a minute. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
