On PDC: command to run on DC that must be a PDC emulator role owner in forest root domain.
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time.windo
Now stop and restart the Windows Time service using the following commands:
net stop w32time
net start w32time
if you don’t want to wait for time convergence to occur between your stratum 2 time server (your forest root PDC Emulator) and the external stratum 1 time server, you can run the following command on your PDC Emulator:
w32tm /resync /rediscover
Clients:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time
