Greetings, i have 3 sites spread across three countries
UK, Germany and USA
Each site has two servers running Windows 2008 Server, all servers hold a copy of the global catalogue
There is a single domain/DNS namespace "domain.local"
UK Site
Server01 - Holds all FSMO Roles
Server02
Germany Site
Server03
Server04
USA Site
Server05
Server06
Sites and services has been configured with each sites associated subnet and there are active directory links between all servers, replication works fine and client machines can logon without issue.
However i have an NTP problem, SERVER01 referances an external time source being a UK Stratum2 server in Manchester. It also holds the PDC emulator role.
If i run the command i receive the appropriate response.
If i run the command i receive the appropriate response.
However if i simply run the command NET TIME i get the following.
This is the same for every one of the six servers in the organisation, for some reason they try to query SERVER03 which is located in the states, Can anyone explain this behavior?
