Issue/Introduction
chrony sync time from Windows domain controller
Additional Information
The default "maxdistance" value to chronyd service is 3 in /etc/chrony.conf.
However the "root dispersion" value of "chronyc ntpdata" command after configuring chrony to sync time with a domain controller is much larger than 3 (in local testing lab it will be up to 11 seconds).
