Configuring ntp on Win 2008 R2
Posted on 2012-12-29

configure them to sync their their timings to an ntp server
(which could be a Linux or Cisco device )

Here's the article I used to configure my external time source on a Server 2008 R2 DC.

Just replace the DNS name with whatever you want to sync to.

Just replace the DNS name with whatever you want to sync to.
1. open the default UDP 123 port (in- and outbound) on your firewall.
2. Stop the W32Time service: C:\>net stop w32time
3. Configure the external time sources, type: C:\> w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:”0.pool.nt
(replace with your preferred ntp address)
3. Start the w32time service: C:\>net start w32time
The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. You can check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: C:\>w32tm /query /configuration
Check the Event Viewer for any errors.
