How to set the time service for your W2K3 Server Domain Controller

To configure your time server, run
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist: /syncfromflags:MANUAL
To update the time, run w32tm /config /update
To verify the time, run w32tm /monitor

Example:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:ntp.ubc.ca /syncfromflags:MANUAL

w32tm /config /update

w32tm /monitor

If the right time server is still not being used, check the Default Domain Controllers group policies' Computer configuration/Administrative Templates /System/Windows Time service/Time Providers . Ensure that all three settings listed are set to “not configured”.
