Active Directory Domain Controller Stop Time Syncing

In this post, I describe how to stop the automatic time sync that occurs on an Active Directory Domain Controller.

You may wish to disable 'Set the time automatically' if, for example, you're testing something and wish to set the time to a different time of day.


Resolution

To disable the automatic time sync:

1. Open regedit

2. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters

3. Double click Type

4. Change the Value data from NT5DS to NoSync and press OK
