w32tm or regedit to synch time?

i tasked with setting time server , synching a few client machines it.  read current microsoft procedures , seem conflict steps found.  steps i have clients basically:

  1. set the maxnegphasecorrection  and maxposphasecorrection client's registry settings "ffffffff".
  2. for clock in system tray, check automatically synchronize internet time server checkbox.
  3. in system tray's clock, set the server  field server's ip address.

the microsoft procedures (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054) seem imply need on each of the clients is:

  w32tm /resync /rediscover

 

which correct, or did miss something?

hi.

depending on envoirment, in domain clients domain controller pdc role long configured correctly. here article explians process. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/configuring-windows-time-service.html 

you can either use registry configure or can use w32tm command. list complete list of commands type w32tm /?

i belive must run command this: "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:someiptoserver"

hope points in right direction.
