ntpd

I am setting up my Ubuntu 10.0.4 server to sync clock with a Windows 2008 AD. As none of the "remote" has a "*" in front (worst it had a blank space in front), does it mean no time sync source is selected? The offset just keep increasing. I tried ntpdate to the same server it worked OK.

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

Any help to fix this?

Here is my ntp.conf (with all comments removed)
