Must Have Group Policy Setting!

Yes it would be beneficial for you to have another policy that set the setting back to use NT5DS. This way you wouldn't have to worry about configuring anything after a transfer/seize.

I posted this at the AskDS blog but never got an answer. Maybe you can shed some light on this question:

If this GPO applies the appropriate time settings (type=NTP, NtpServer=yourtimeserver) if/when the PDCe role is moved, what about the DC the role was moved from?

Doesn't there need to be a GPO in place that will change the Windows Time Service settings back to those appropriate for a non-PDCe?

That is exactly what you will want to do to those other DCs.

Excellent! Perhaps it would be worth the little effort to create another GPO that sets all 'non-PDCEs' to use NT5DS?
