How to sync time across servers

I cannot stress enough on the importance of the need for all the servers in the Hyperion stack to be in sync.
In any traditional setup one will mostly see , a database server , all hyperion application servers, a server for programs to pull/push data from/to hyperion systems.
If any of these servers are out of sync in time due to ACL issues or networks issues , the impact is felt widely on the Hyperion side of things.  Just to sight a few examples, Users could face issues logging into the system or programs that run on hyperion might not run at the intended time or even produce erroneous results depending on the nature of the program. 

I am about to cover how to achieve a sync of time data with the NTP Server. 

On Windows operating system , the w32time utility proves very effective in achieving the same. 

net stop w32time
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"NTP.SERVER.COM"
w32tm /config /reliable:yes
net start w32time
w32tm /query /configuration
