The Global Configuration Settings machine setting should be configured correctly.
These settings control the Windows Time service (W32time) for domain controllers. Several of these values are scalar, which means that they only have meaning in relation to one another and are not defined by specific unit measurements. Controls the rate at which the W32time corrects the local clock's frequency. Lower values cause slower corrections; larger values cause quicker corrections. Values that are too low can lead to overcorrection and instability. Values that are too high can lead to slow synchronization.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Windows Time Service\Global Configuration Settings
(2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\W32Time\Config\FrequencyCorrectRate
