one of our servers had not accessed the time server for a long time. After access is turned on; my colleague has notice date is wrong and setting time with date command. After this I have restarted the ntp service and sync the time server "ntpdate timeserver_ip command". At first, the time of the server equals the time server. However, when I looked at the ntpstat command afterwards, the number of milliseconds increased in the interim. Later the output of the ntpstat command was unsynchronized and I read -500.00 when I read the file /var/lib/ntp/drif.
here are the questions;
1- this problem reason is the using date command?
2- how can i reduce the difference?
3- How can I fix the drif file?

You basically need to determine the reason the server is time drifting away from the NTP time server. Information provided doesn’t allow us to determine it – Ramhound – 2018-03-25T13:51:31.367
Could check which clocksource is used now & try switching it? – Xen2050 – 2018-03-25T15:37:15.343
used clocksource is tsc, still /var/lib/ntp/drift 500.000 how could I continuous sync to the time server on this server?when I posted ntpstat command output is "time correct to within 450 ms", now 720ms. constantly increasing – arifisik – 2018-03-25T20:21:46.757
@arifisik Can you please edit your question and show the output from
