    We actually have a tip going about this that is being prepared but below is the setting you’ll want to use.

    I recommend using pool.ntp.org instead of the default Microsoft servers as historically it doesn’t do a good job and are saturated.
     

    So to configure:
     
    1-      The registry key first for every 12 hours.  You don’t want to do it every hour as it doesn’t help and just congests the NTP server more.

     
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
     
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001servicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpClient]
    “SpecialPollInterval”=dword:0000a8c0

     
    2-      The time server and telling the service that the configuration has changed

     
    w32tm /config /update /manualpeerlist:”pool.ntp.org” /syncfromflags:MANUAL
     
    3-      The synchronization

     
    w32tm /resync
