Set Windows Server 2008 R2 to sync to an external NTP source

Thanks to this site, synching Server 2008 R2 to an external NTP server isn’t too bad.  Here’s what the commands boil down to:

net stop w32time
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org
w32tm /config /reliable:yes
net start w32time
w32tm /query /configuration
