Our help desk guy is on vacay, Server Admin on the road and I'm last in our little team. So, there's this awkward "documentation" post.
Our “TimeClock” server (of all servers!) became 5 minutes out of sync. I used a 3rd party time server, NTP Pool Project to solve the problem. Here’s how:
Open CMD prompt as admin, and set time sync to 3rd party server using this command:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org"
Source: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html
Open Server Manager Tools Services
Select “Windows Time”
Restart
Return to CMD prompt and enter:
w32tm /query /status
All is groovy and back in sync!…
