I'm having a problem with ntp service after ubuntu boot. I have a local net with a few computers running Ubuntu 16.04 / Windows 8 and a Debian 8 server running as ntp/samba/dhcp server. Some computers don't get a correct time and then the users can't connect on that machine.

To solve this issue i just run:

sudo systemctl restart ntp.server

But i need to run this every time when windows start and then switch to ubuntu.

sudo systemctl status ntp.service

PS: I'm using a tool to connect all pcs in the domain, called CiD (https://sourceforge.net/projects/c-i-d/), so the ntp.conf is configured by the tool.

So, this could be a problem with my DNS?
