'w32tm' OK 'net time' always ask wrong server


i found great article on net time , w32time @ http://blogs.msdn.com/w32time/archive/2009/08/07/net-time-and-w32time.aspx?commentposted=true#commentmessage lead me take peek @ ms article kb 314861, i’m still seeking understanding.

 

we have single domain, 5 sites, no wins, , no known time issues.  the problem when issue net time command no arguments, response consistently returned dc in remote site, weak connectivity.  all w32time stuff seems working fine.  like said…no time problems… consistent responses remote dc in different site.

 

so….i guess question is:

 

why domain computers seem “arbitrarily” pick same dc when issuing net time no arguments?


>>>so, when empty ‘net time’ command called, requests browse list of ts servers, , picks first server in list results query time?

yes
