Time drift on domain controller

[ultra]

Hi everyone!
My network has a domain controller on the physical server, and I plan to add another in a virtual environment proxmox.
At the moment I am very much interested in the question of time synchronization of virtualized domain controller. Share your experience who have domain controller based on windows server 2008 R2. If everything works out of the box or something you need to reconfigure? Anyone use a wiki howto about guest time drift, is it actual?

Also interested in the general question with what time source guest machines are synchronized and whether there are settings for this in GUI interface or config files of the system.
Thank you!

NTP is the answer to this. Set you're PDC to pull it's time from a reliable NTP server, and then you're member servers should pull from the PDC, according to their own W32TM service setup.

I've been doing it this way for years, worked flawlessly.

Don't trust the local batteries, time shift happens with them all the time.
