how to configure domain controller running windows server 2008 with external time server

The domain controller's clock is off, and when I try the following command: w32tm.exe /config /manualpeerlist:”0.us.pool.ntp.org 1.us.pool.ntp.org 2.us.pool.ntp.org 3.us.pool.ntp.org” /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:YES /update
I get" The following arguments were unexpected: 1.us.pool.ntp.org 2.us.pool.ntp.org 3.us.pool.ntp.org
What am I doing wrong? Thanks

still got "the following arguments were unexpected" line   :(
Hi,

Change your command like this;

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org"
Yes, the tool is much easier since every space is critical in the cmdline. Follow the instruction carefully
That sucks... I gave the answer, but someone else gets the credit.
I am sorry. It was an oversight on my part. Is there any way to change it?
