Wrong time again Mr Windows 2008?

Grrrrr....
One of my VM date time running windows 2008 is screwed again.
Used this to fix it once and for all...

Stop the W32Time service: 
net stop w32time

Configure the external time sources
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org"

Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. 
w32tm /config /reliable:yes

Start the w32time service: 
net start w32time

The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. 
You can check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: 
w32tm /query /configuration

Check the Event Viewer for any errors.
