One-Liner's for AD Time Synchronisation Information

After finding that some of my domain controller VMs were set to sync with the host, I had a time synchronisation issue across my domiain. Here are a couple of commands that assisted in resolving the problem.

Show all Domain Controller times with 1 sample


(Get-ADForest).GlobalCatalogs | sort | % { Write-Host "$($_): " -foregroundcolor Yellow -nonewline ; w32tm /stripchart /computer:$_ /dataonly /samples:1 | Select -Last 1}



The first column is the DC name, 2nd is local time (machine you're running the command from) and the 3rd is the DC's offset from local time

Force Sync on all DCs


(Get-ADForest).GlobalCatalogs | % { w32tm /resync /computer:$_ /nowait}
