Why does my DC PC query time.windows.com instead of DC

Q: One of our networking workstation displays "The current SNTP value is: time.windows.com,0x1" when using net time /querysntp. I thought it should synchronize the time with DC. Why?

A: It is because the regedit has NtpSever poiting to the Time.Windows.Com. In many cases, you may have this settings if you install a computer in a workgroup and then upgare it to the domain computer. The computer still synchronize the DC time if the regedit has Type = NT5DS.
