Time issue - Windows Server 2016 Standard

The Time on my Domain controller is exactly exactly one hour ahead no matter what time zone I select. See screenshot below. How do I fix this?

It is the PDC emulator

So I would do a couple of things.
Set the time zone as needed.
then do;

w32tm /unregister
net stop w32time
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<ntp ip address> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time
then check
w32tm /query /source
w32tm /query /configuration

many can be found here.

Looks like right now the zone is set to zulu or UTC time zone, is that correct?

Are you saying it cannot be changed?

The time zone can be changed. but the time that comes up for any time zone is wrong by one hour.

Is this domain controller the PDC emulator or other domain controller?

I ran these commands: i found from keeping-time-accurate-on-your-windows-domain

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.de.pool.ntp.org,0x1 1.de.pool.ntp.org,0x1 2.de.pool.ntp.org,0x1 3.de.pool.ntp.org,0x1" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
net start w32time
w32tm /resync

seems to have done the trick and time is now correct. Do i need to do anything else?
