    Hello Jason,

    Make sure the DC has the PDCEmulator role which is configured to the external
    time source. On all machines must port 123 UDP be open.

    On the clients run(can also be scripted as startup script):
    w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

    After that run:
    net stop w32time
    net start w32time

    Best regards

    Meinolf Weber
