Setting a PDC Emulator to pull time from an NTP Server

On a domain the computers pull their time from the domain controllers and thedomain controllers pull  their time from the AD server that has the PDC Emulator role. To set the PDC Emulator to pull time from an outside NTP server follow these commands.

-  Find the PHC server: c:\>netdom /query fsmo

-  Stop the time service (w32time): c:\>net stop w32time

-  Point the server to the external NTP source: c:\>w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org"

-  Make the PDC a reliable time source: c:\>w32tm /config /reliable:yes

-  Start the time service: c:\>net start w32time

-  Check the configuration changes:  c:\>w32tm /query /configuration

-  Force a sync: c:\>w32time /resync
