I just noticed that you also used commas to separate the time sources. It needs to be spaces. (Commas are used to separate the syncfromflags sources, if there are more than one. See the Help for w32tm to confirm what I'm saying.

One thing that is really odd to me about the command is that you need to enclose this *whole switch* in quotes - "/manualpeerlist:0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org" Charlie Sullivan Sr. Windows Systems Administrator From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 10:50 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] time not syncing Hi all, i have follows these instructions to the letter, and have confirmed the values exist and are accurate in the registry of the 2008r2 DC, it remains 10 minutes off All the computers, clients and servers, have the same time so its not causing any authentication issues (thankfully) but its annoying not be able to get the correct time 1. First, locate your PDC Server. Open the command prompt and type: C:\>netdom /query fsmo 2. Log in to your PDC Server and open the command prompt. 3. Stop the W32Time service: C:\>net stop w32time 4. Configure the external time sources, type: C:\> w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org" 5. Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. Type: C:\>w32tm /config /reliable:yes 6. Start the w32time service: C:\>net start w32time 7. The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. You can check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: C:\>w32tm /query /configuration when i run this command w32tm /stripchart /computer:0.pool.ntp.org /samples:5 /dataonly C:\>w32tm /stripchart /computer:0.pool.ntp.org /samples:5 /dataonly Tracking 0.pool.ntp.org [15.126.193.186:123].
