We recently noticed that during our Domain Controller / Active Directory agent installed during the backup we get a scom alert that says “AD Replication Monitoring : The following DCs have clocks which are set in the future. This can cause replication errors in Active Directory and prevents the 'AD Replication Monitoring' script from detecting replication errors. It happens on our primary Domain Controller and it affects our other two servers.
I have the VSA backing up the VM and a separate schedule that backs up the AD portion. I don’t see any alerts or failures in the job history, any thoughts?
If I remove the primary NTP / AD server from the backup schedule the error is not generated so I’m thinking maybe contention / overlap with the VSA and AD client?
