I have done that and have rebooted the workstation (mac) multiple times.
If I run a adgpudate it will set it back.
I have found in mac_mapper_ntp.pl the following:
# By default adclient will use its own NTP client.
# The default behavior can be overriden by:
# 1. a standard Microsoft Policy:
# Software\Policies\Microsoft\W32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
# This standard policy can be found in Windows\inf\system.adm, and can be
# set in GPOE under:
# Computer Configuration -> Administrative Template -> System ->
# Windows Time Service -> Time Providers -> Enable Windows NTP Client.
# 2. adclient.sntp.enabled property in centrifydc.conf.
#
#
# Map: 1. modify /etc/ntp.conf based on the status of adclient NTP service
# Enable: enable system NTP service and set domain controller
# as NTP server
# Disable: do not change the status of system NTP service,
# but restore original NTP server setting
#
# Unmap: do not change the status of system NTP service, but restore
# original NTP server setting
------------------------------------------------------
Number 2 does not work. even if set this option to false, it is set back to true
It seems number 1 is performing this action no matter what I do.
I'd like to permanently disable the adclient NTP function where it puts it back to
the DC.
I am thinking of using the SetAdditionalProperties.pl script to set the adclient.sntp.enabled to false.
