I think i found the problem. When i used GPMC and changed Domain controllers to PHPRINT1 (DC WITH WRONG TIME) i noticed the homepage setting was still enabled! I removed it. However, this shines a light on GPO replication not working correctly, as demonstrated in the dcdiag. i want to try and fix the time situtation, but when i run a w32tm /unregister while logged into the PHPRINT1 ( Member DC) as a Domain Admin, i get a "access denied" ? how else could i troubleshoot ?
