SBS 2003 Server time error:

The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 120 minutes

Entering /w32tm /resync at the command prompt gives:
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

Verified Solution 12-31-2012:

Start, Run, CMD

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com,0x1 /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
(configures server as standalone time server)
net stop w32time
net start w32time
w32tm /resync

Errors in event log and server performance reports have disappeared
