Set the SNTP time server on Windows 2003

For the primary Australian time server use the command:

net time /setsntp:ntp.cs.mu.OZ.AU

Melbourne Australia: The University of Melbourne
128.250.36.2: ntp.cs.mu.OZ.AU
Service area: Australia and New Zealand

For other servers see here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262680

This helps cure event log messages like

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W32Time
Event Category: None
Event ID: 12
Date:  4/03/2009
Time:  10:04:20 AM
User:  N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
Time Provider NtpClient: This machine is configured to use the domain hierarchy to determine its time source, but it is the PDC emulator for the domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain hierarchy to use as a time source.  It is recommended that you either configure a reliable time service in the root domain, or manually configure the PDC to synchronize with an external time source.  Otherwise, this machine will  function as the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy.  If an external  time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable  the NtpClient.
