I swear that I had to enclose the whole switch in quotes and the Help seems to suggest that.
In any case, you need to have spaces between the time sources. When I look at the same key on my PDC, I see this: tick.domain.com tock.domain.com ...exactly as above. (Spaces, not commas.) Our time is in sync with that Reg key in place.

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].
