How to sync Server Clock with the Internet

The purpose of this short tutorial is to set the server internal clock, which will be synchronised with the internet rather than the local BIOS clock. A Bios clock can get inaccurate over time and this would be something we do not want to happen.

To do so, start the CMD as Admin and type the following:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"pool.ntp.org" /reliable:YES /update 

This inputs the config entry into the registry.

In order to sync the time with the internet:

w32tm /config /update 
w32tm /resync

These commands refresh the configuration and resync the time with the server

Once the clients in your network relog their time will get resynchronised with the server.
