Replace W32tm with a GUI tool
I think most people understand that time is getting more and more important to computers.
With various tools relying on timestamps you really need to have a good understanding of how time services work in your environment. I am planning a blog article that will go into a lot more detail of the various tools and options for time in Windows and other platforms later on but for now I have come across a nice little tool that can take some of the immediate pain out configuring time on Windows servers.
Greyware make a very nice range of NTP tools and have just started offering a free control panel applet that manipulates w32tm (the DOS time sync tool) in a nice and simple GUI.
If you have ever had to mess around with W32tm then you will now how welcome this GUI tool is! It can be downloaded from here.
