Long time, no see.
One more for the road :-)
This is to be done on the PDC emulator, usually your 1st DC.
1. Set registry values
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer [STRING] = "1st.fqdn.or.ip,0x1 2nd.fqdn.or.ip,0x1"
(space separated string, with ',0x1' after each entry)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\ReliableTimeSource [DWORD] = 1
(if this doesn't exist, don't create it)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\LocalNTP [DWORD] = 0
(if this doesn't exist, don't create it)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags [DWORD] = 5
2. Restart w32time
net stop w32time && net start w32time
3. Resync the time service
w32tm /resync /rediscover
4. Verify sync
w32tm /query /status
