Well I've been having time problems in Windows for a while, considering we are running it in VMware and we normally don't use AD. I'd thought I'd write a quick one on how to configure a NTP time source on Windows. This seems to work on both Windows XP and 2003.
Change the following registry settings:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type : NTP
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer : IP Address of Time Server
If you use a DNS name you need to add the 0x1 suffix e.g. tock.usno.navy,0x1
Once you've changed the registry settings stop/start the W32 service:
net stop w32time
net start w32time
And then you can also force a resync with the command:
w32tm /resync
The output should say something like '...command successfully completed.'
