How the Windows Time service works on an RODC

For virtual DCs; dont sync the time with the host machine. For Hyper-V you need to disable the Hyper-V time service. You need to disable the below service for DCs.  

Keeping the Domain On Time-Time Source Selection

<>A machine can only look for a time source in its own domain or the parent domain. A machine will never go to a domain on a parallel level, or a "skip-level" parent domain.

<>Within a domain, a machine cannot sync with its own kind. A DC cannot sync with another DC. A client cannot sync with another client.
