setting NTP time source for all domain controllers

[Guest mhowell]

If I set my PDC operations master to point to an external NTP server will all

domain controllers automatically sync their time with the PDC operations

master?

 

Is this automatic because I have domain controllers that point to

time.windows.com and their type is NT5DS. If I just leave those settings in

the registry for the other domain controllers will it just ignore them and

sync their time with the operations master?

It should be pretty much automatic once you set the master to advertise

itself as a reliable time source.
