my preferred Windows Server Time sync configuration

At the moment, my preferred Windows Server Time sync configuration is simply to:

(set an authoritative time source on a Windows Server - short and simple)

net time /setsntp:pool.ntp.org

(...or specify the whole set)

net time /setsntp:"0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org"

(verify that time source is configured)

net time /querysntp

(Stop and Restart the Windows Time Service)
NET STOP "WINDOWS TIME"
NET START "WINDOWS TIME"

(To force a sync)

w32tm /resync
