This week we have a special guest, Simon, talking about NTP. And we discuss other stuff too, of course.

Timely stuff:

• To view the time client configuration: W32tm /query /configuration (look at Type, will probably say NTP) and you can see which is your NTP server too.
• To compare time between your local device and an NTP source: w32tm /stripchart /computer: target
• To configure your PDC Emulator to use an NTP time source: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<peers> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update (taken from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794937(v=WS.10).aspx)
• How to use pool.ntp.org: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html
• How to reset the time service:
  • net stop w32time
  • w32tm /unregister
  • w32tm /register
  • net start w32time

• The fix for getting Windows DC to obtain time from a non-Windows NTP server:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875424 (note this fixed it for me in 2008 server)
• Windows Time Service Technical Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a0fcd250-e5f7-41b3-b0e8-240f8236e210#w2k3tr_times_intro
