Sync Windows Server To Centralised Time Sources

2010 February 2

It is a common requirement for all servers in a solution, to have the same system time.  This can be achieved using NTP service.

To synchronise a client machine with a time source or list of time sources (10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3),

go to command line

w32tm /configure /manualpeerlist: “10.10.10.1,0×1, 10.10.10.2,ox1 ,10.10.10.3,0×1 ” /update

net stop w32time

net start w32time

To check time between source

w32tm /stripchart /computer:10.10.10.1

Note:  UDP port 123 for NTP is required.
