Hyper-V and DC as virtual machine
Ivan Versluis June 23rd, 2008
When I try to open the “Active Directly Sites and Services” MMC console I got the following error message.
Naming information cannot be located because: The clocks on the client and server machines are skewed. Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online.
My Hyper-V host is running in a workgroup and not being member of a AD DS domain. Therefore it is not syncing the time with a managed NTP time service. One of my remote domain controllers is running on this host and I am having issues to authenticate myself on the AD DS running as virtual machine. The best option in this case is to disable the time synchronization within the virtual machine options. Another option is to fix the host time, but if you are selling the Hyper-V as a service to customers than you won’t be member of their domain 
Right click the virtual machine; choose settings within the Hyper-V management console. Go to Integration Services and uncheck “Time synchronization”.
After the reboot the domain controller synced the time with the correct values.
