I have a basic Windows network and the workstations are not syncing time. I have read and followed the advice in the article below without success:

The computer did not resync because no time data was available.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I went thru many resync commands on my domain joined Windows 10 machine trying to get it to resync. What fixed this for me was I first ran DCDIAG on my domain controller and saw the error that said this server is not advertising as a time server. So then I ran w32tm /query /status on my DC. Which returned an answer of vmnic something. My DC was using the time integration services from the Hyper-V host. I went to the Hyper V Manager and went to the setting on my DC and removed the check box from time integration services. Then I reset my DC to use an external time source: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time2.google.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update Then run: net stop w32time and net start w32time Now when I went back to my Windows 10 clients I could run: w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update and net stop w32time and then net start w32time That fixed the time sync immediately. After about 15 minutes the rest of my domain joined PC's had also updated to the correct time. Hope this helps you!
