What I am trying to do is reset the pDCe to use us.pool.net.org as the primary time source. This would be inaddition to several time sources at the University that seem to have issues off and on. Since I was at it I was also going to set all my Workgroup servers to use the same list of time sources as I do not want them to be any less accurate nor cause myself any issues down the road to remote access.
When you "view" the list of sntp servers with the /querysntp command of net time you get the list of time servers being used by the server. If you change the list using w32tm /manualpeerlist:"list of time servers" you get the same list. Unless I have done something wrong it appears the command structure that Edward gave me did exactly what I wanted. If something is wrong I would love to know about it before it bites me.

W2K's w32time works just fine. It was the first time we actually > had a decent native time service with registry based configuration and a > management interface.
