Yes but how does this work in AllSync mode? I am considering using AllSync for clients that won't be connect to our Domain for a long time remote laptops etc. AllSync — It uses the domain hierarchy first and will fall back to the value set for the NTP server if the domain hierarchy is not available.
As per my understating - However, in Allsync mode, if it succeeds communicating with domain hierarchy, it will follow Min and Max poll interval. Hi, As far as I know, SpecialPollInterval is irrelevant on a domain member server, because all domain member computers should be using domain hierarchy.
So if you are referring to a member server, then you could ignore it as long as the Type entry is set to NT5DS. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

So, without further ado Working from home has presented challenges in many areas and it is true for time synchronization on computers used at home to connect to work.
More specifically, time synchronization on domain-joined computers used from home is potentially affected due to the challenges of remote connectivity. AD Domains and Forests were designed in an era of high-latency, low-bandwidth work networks and with security as a top criterion.
These criteria extended to time synchronization within the Domains or Forests in the form of using NTP protocol enhanced with AD-based security. Time synchronization is also a requirement for Kerberos to function correctly in AD. PCs that are not part of an AD domain still required time synchronization for usability.
They were configured to use simple NTP over the internet to synchronize time periodically, with certain safeguards in place. Because of the divergent nature of requirements of these two scenarios, they synchronized time from different sources and at varying intervals using different protocols. These factors have affected the time synchronization on the domain client PCs at home. Over a period, domain clients with poor domain connectivity can experience loss of domain functionality or other functionality due to their system time drifting too far from the current time.
This post touches upon some configuration ideas for domain clients used for working from home and connecting to their AD Domains remotely. Domain time sync adequately covers the first aspect but can fall short on time error due to potential remote connectivity issues. Assuming the domain is synchronized with UTC in some manner, one can synchronize domain clients with simple NTP servers over the internet as a backup mechanism to keep the time on them reasonably accurate.
Although this involves the use of unsecured NTP protocol, some techniques can be used to minimize potential risks. NTP servers on the internet tend to be available and reachable from most internet end points. Please see the Windows Time Service tools and settings reference for more information on W32time service settings. Safest Way: The safest is to wait for a scheduled time sync to take place, or restart the machine.
Forcefully Synchronize Alternatively, you can force a time synchronization. Recommended 1 hour sec My Testing: In my Testing. Rate this:. Like this: Like Loading I need to use version 4.

The domain controller does not advertise time service. The domain controller automatically determines whether it should advertise time service. The default value on stand-alone clients and servers is 3. ResolvePeerBackOffMaxTimes All versions Specifies the maximum number of times to double the wait interval when repeated attempts to locate a peer to synchronize with fail.
A value of zero means that the wait interval is always the minimum. The default value on domain members is 7. ResolvePeerBackoffMinutes All versions Specifies the initial interval to wait, in minutes, before attempting to locate a peer to synchronize with.
SpecialPollInterval All versions Specifies the special poll interval, in seconds, for manual peers. When the SpecialInterval 0x1 flag is enabled, W32Time uses this poll interval instead of a poll interval determined by the operating system. The default value on domain members is 3, The default value on stand-alone clients and servers is , It contains reserved data that is used by the Windows operating system.
It specifies the time, in seconds, before W32Time will resynchronize after the computer has restarted. Any changes to this setting can cause unpredictable results. The default value on both domain members and on stand-alone clients and servers is left blank. The following registry entries are not a part of the W32Time default configuration but can be added to the registry to obtain enhanced logging capabilities.
By default, the Windows Time service logs an event every time that it switches to a new time source. These are the global Group Policy settings and default values for the Windows Time service.

Caution Don't use the Net time command to configure or set a computer's clock time when the Windows Time service is running. Note If you have a computer with multiple network adapters is multi-homed , you cannot enable the Windows Time service based on a network adapter.
Important Windows Server has improved the time synchronization algorithms to align with RFC specifications. Note In this case, if you want to set the clock back slowly, you would also have to adjust the values of PhaseCorrectRate or UpdateInterval in the registry to make sure that the equation result is TRUE.
Note When you remove a Group Policy setting, Windows removes the corresponding entry from the policy area of the registry. Warning This information is provided as a reference for use in troubleshooting and validation. Note Some of the parameters in the registry are measured in clock ticks and some are measured in seconds.

If chaining is disabled set to 0 , a read-only domain controller RODC can synchronize with any domain controller, but hosts that do not have their passwords cached on the RODC will not be able to synchronize with the RODC.
Specifies the maximum amount of time that an entry can remain in the chaining table before the entry is considered to be expired. Expired entries may be removed when the next request or response is processed. The default value is 16 seconds. Controls the frequency at which an event that indicates the number of successful and unsuccessful chaining attempts is logged to the System log in Event Viewer.
The default is 30 minutes. Controls the maximum number of entries that are allowed in the chaining table. If the chaining table is full and no expired entries can be removed, any incoming requests are discarded. The default value is entries. Controls the maximum number of entries that are allowed in the chaining table for a particular host.
The default value is 4 entries.
