windows server 2008 r2 domain controller time keeps lagging after every few days RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello,

    I have encountered strange issue since long time on my windows server 2008 r2 domain controller which is PDC in my organization, need to upgrade after some time to win 2016.

    Meanwhile I want to focus on this issue, server time keeps lagging after every few days (since 3 years), I mean suppose the current time is 10:30:26, after a week the server time at the same time will show 10:30:12 i.e. the time has lagged by 14 seconds after a week. I again need to set the time manually and the same thing happens after a week. Suppose I haven't set the time manually, after a a month or so the time will lag by 1-2 minutes which is creating problem for some sensitive time dependent applications. The server doesn't have any heavy application installed, it's primary objective is to provide DNS service and group policies in a set up of more than 2000 client workstations.

    This is my PDC from where all the clients sync the time.

    Tried all the ways to troubleshoot this, even checked the time in BIOS but the BIOS time is perfect. 

    I wonder what could be the issue and how do I solve it?

    Any perfect response will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
