How to make windows 2008 Stadard the authoritive NTP server?
I have done all the correct step but the Net time still points to another server of mine and that server will be decomissioned in the next few days and I want to ensure that NTP is going to the correct server so there are no issues with network time?
thank you all in advance.

The new server is DC. So when I decommission the old DC the time will automatically transfer over to the new DC? I am also upgrading from Windows 2003 to 2008
Yes. Of course, you need to promote the new machine to DC and transfer all the FSMO roles before you demote the old DC; but the clients will automatically begin using the new DC for time synchronization.
I prefer using a GPO that always set the PDCe to sync its time with an external source.

I transfered all the roles to the new DC which is 2008 and I already decommissioned the primary but when I do net time it points to the alternate DC and I wanted it to point to the new one. But if this does this automatically then I should be OK.

Ramarajb- I followed those steps exactly but still points to the alternate DC when I do net time.
If windows 2008 is going to be PDC, follow the below article.

If you must, have the DC(s) sync with this NTP server, then let the clients sync with the DC(s).
