Keeping up with time, as in system time, windows system time

Here a techie note entry,

I like to do stuffs the command line way, and here a way to configure windows time server on Windows 2008 R2. Open the command prompt, and enter these

C:\> w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org,0x8 /syncfromflags:MANUAL
C:\> net stop w32time
C:\> net start w32time

To verify if the configuration which you had just applied is correct, perform a status query

C:\>w32tm /query /status
Leap Indicator: 0(no warning)
Stratum: 4 (secondary reference - syncd by (S)NTP)
Precision: -6 (15.625ms per tick)
Root Delay: 0.0312500s
Root Dispersion: 16.0100000s
ReferenceId: 0x0A3D0A14 (source IP:  10.61.10.20)
Last Successful Sync Time: 2013-02-15 05:40:59
Source: pool.ntp.org,0x8
Poll Interval: 10 (1024s)
And voila !
