This would be to sync the time to the time server of pool.ntp.org

Summary

Cause
Check that the Regional settings are all set to Australia and to the clients state. Also if the computer is on a Domain, then their computers and Fileserver will be looked after by an IT Department. Below information the IT Department will know what to do, but you can tell the site that they will need to have their IT Department to Sync their FileServer then the whole domain to the following TimeServer - pool.ntp.org

Solution Here are the steps we take to setup time on the servers now: Configure Group Policy for the client machines to pick up time (If there is no existing group policy in place you will need create and link one, then enforce it) Below is a policy that is already Enforced. If you need to create and enforce a Group Policy. Grab a senior technician or team Leader who can help with this.

Below is a screenshot of Group Policy Object Editor. Below all three have been enabled.

In particular the Configure Windows NTP Client with the following details:

In the DHCP Scope, select time server, and resolve for pool.ntp.org

And select the NTP Server as the servers IP

Then in the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT add the following entries: echo w32tm /config /syncfromflags:DOMHIER NET TIME \\SOSERVER /SET /Y

Then in command prompt run the following commands: Gpupdate /force w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org /reliable:YES w32tm /config /computer:clientcomputername /syncfromflags:DOMHIER For that last command, apply the clientcomputername to change time on whichever computer you need to.
