That said, when there's some reason that's not an option (in my case, I'm not the admin on the linux OS some of my machines are stuck dual booting with, and I need reliable time sync in windows for licensing), a secondary tool like NetTime, alongside disabling the W32Time and setting RealTimeIsUniversal in the registry seems to work well so far. -- Joshua M.
