Exchange 2016 change time and date into future
reaper111 Hello,
What is the version of CU?
Can the system run on a VM and sync the clock update from there? Did you do GPO checks on the domain?
If you are running on VMware, you need to do a right click on VMware tools. You have the" Synchronize Guest time with host " setting. If the box is checked, please remove this mark and try it.
I want to help you. I had a problem similar to the problem you had when I was using Windows Server 2012 R2. I solved the problem with the commands I mentioned below.

If there is a time synchronization problem between DC and clients, you can solve the problem by following these steps. First, you need to find a PDC emulator. You can find PDC emulator with the following command.
dsquery server -hasfsmo pdcThen follow the following command in PDC emulator.
w32tm /config /update /syncfromflags:MANUAL /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com,0×1In clients, you can also ensure synchronization by applying the following command.
w32tm /resync /rediscoverIf the above does not work, try the following commands in PDC emulator.
NET TIME /SETSNTP:time.windows.com
NET STOP W32TIME
NET START W32TIME
W32TM /config /reliable:YES
W32TM /resync /rediscover
- Hi cengizyilmaz, thank you for your answer. It is no a problem in general, just with this VM which running exchange. There are no Time settings configured in any gpo, all system get their time from one of the dc. The PDC goes directly to external time server to sync his time. Not any VM is syncing his time over the Host oder within the VM Guest Tools. As i wrote, the time in generall is snyc right, but a few times the system itself change local date and time into future.
