![]() I won’t go into each role but there are 5 FSMO roles. Next we’ll look at the Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) roles to find who that PDC server is. This PDC is usually synched to external time sources or like in some of my other environments, internal GPS NTP appliances. This server holds the best time source if another reliable time source hasn’t been configured. In a Windows forest, the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) emulator holds the master role. It’s a time service that synchronizes the entire domain hierarchy. Computers NOT joined to the DOMAIN will use NTP and Computer joined to the DOMAIN will use NT5DS, NOT NTP. NT5DS – Use on computers that are joined to a domain. ![]() NTP – Use on computers that are not joined to a domain. But I want to focus on the Windows AD side now in this post. I’ll blog soon about NTP in general when it comes to stratums and a design.
