NTP server

In a command window, run

I found that out but when I run the : w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<NTP server> /update
that it says it is unknown.

You obviously have to replace <NTP sefrver> with a valid IP address or FQDN of an NTP server geographically close to you.
Especially if you should decide for one of the pool.ntp.org, add a ",0x8" at the end of the IP address/name:
Example with the first NTP server from the Microsoft KB article:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:129.6.15.2

What *exactly* does it say, because that command and syntax is correct. You did replace '<NTP server>' with your ISP's (or maybe even your own if you have one) NTP server's IP/fqdn?

I get command /config/manualpeerlist:208

the space helped me out. Thanks.
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<NTP server> /update
w32tm /resync
The NTP server can be one from http://www.pool.ntp.org/, or from the list below, or maybe your ISP offers one.

Then simply make sure that UDP port 123 outbound (to your ntp server) is open.
Other DCs will sync with the PDCe, domain members will sync with the authenticating DC.
