W32Time Service Event ID 50 Warning. Is it possible to increase the time difference to stop warnings?

Dear All
Our windows 2003 enterprise server has had SP1 installed recently, however we get the following W32Time Warning a couple of times a day:
--------------------------
The time service detected a time difference of greater than 128 milliseconds for 90 seconds. The time difference might be caused by synchronization with low-accuracy time sources or by suboptimal network conditions. The time service is no longer synchronized and cannot provide the time to other clients or update the system clock. When a valid time stamp is received from a time service provider, the time service will correct itself.

Details
Product: Windows Operating System
Event ID: 50
Source: W32Time
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: MSG_LOCALCLOCK_UNSET
Message: The time service detected a time difference of greater than %1 milliseconds for %2 seconds. The time difference might be caused by synchronization with low-accuracy time sources or by suboptimal network conditions. The time service is no longer synchronized and cannot provide the time to other clients or update the system clock. When a valid time stamp is received from a time service provider, the time service will correct itself.
--------------------------
My question is:
Can I change the time difference to a value larger than 180ms ? I'd rather the clock is off 180ms than have no time service for all the clients.
Thanks for your help
