That's not a configuration issue, that is most likely an NTP server issue?
What NTP server is that?
In my experience, i've used Windows native time (w32tm)
Enabling NTP feature on the server requires additional tweaking on the registry

Hi Gabrillo,
we have same like you have used but it's located in HO, for which i dont have access, if you can suggest me what feature needs to be enabled/checked on NTP then i can mail it to concern team for same.
Thank you,

Note that you will need to change the registry of the server. It would be best to deploy a dedicated Windows Server for NTP
Just do the ff. on the registry:
AT: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM->CurrentControlSet->services->W32Time
CHANGE:
Config: "LocalClockDispersion"="0" -DWORD ->>IMPT!!
Parameters: "Type"="NTP" -STRING
"NtpServer"="127.1.1.1,0x8" -STRING
"ReliableTimeSource"="1" -DWORD
TimeProviders->NtpServer: "Enabled"="1" -DWORD ->>IMPT!!
Note if the registry entry does not exist, create one for it

NP, I have already tried multiple times setting up windows Server for NTP for Cisco, just make sure the registry values exist and it should work
PS: Make sure Port 123/UDP is open on the server. this is the NTP port

Hey Gabrillo,
Thanks for your suggestion, now the issue is resolved.
The problem was with the firewall, security team replied stating "there was wrong URL mentioned in policy for NTP server".
Don't know in detail about that but now its getting synchronized with NTP.

Nice to know you found the issue.
Most likely they might have configured the wrong firewall policy
Glad to know it's working
Cheers,

Just update us here Mainodin,
Oh yeah, just a heads up, I have deployed quite a few of Windows Servers as NTP, so all those settings should work
For verification sake, on your server you can execute the ff. commands:
>net time
I almost forgot, you need to do the ff. steps below:
1. Make sure/Verify w32time feature is running/enabled
-At windows services, kindly check if: "Windows Time" service is running, if not, enable it and set it to automatic(in case of server reboot it will auto start)
2. Execute CMD command
>w32tm /config /reliable:yes /update
>net time -Verify
