Running a 2003 Active Directory network with 2 DC's, one is a VM and the other is a physical server. I recently replaced the physical FSMO server (jeremiah) with a VM (malachi) and transfered all the roles including the PDC emulator, over to the VM. I then configured the VM as an authoritative time server, per this MS KB 816042, but all the clients and servers are looking to the other DC (chronicles) to sync their time. VMware Tools is installed on malachi but is not configured to sync with the hosts for time.
The question is, is this a limitation of vmware or some type of misconfiguration?
I used "netdom query" to verify the roles transferred properly to the new DC. From the clients/servers I used "net time" to verify who they are syncing with for time. in case you're wondering why I care...chronicles will be replaced with a VM guest once I get NTP pointing to malachi.
