I noticed that my time was off on a computer that is connected to a domain controller.
I did this:
1) w32tm /config /syncfromflags:MANUAL /manualpeerlist:time.nist.gov
then this
2 w32tm /config /update
then this
3) w32tm /resync

I restarted the server and the computer but the computer time hasn't changed. How can I manually update it?
This is a WS2008R2 server and W764 Pro client.

You ran that list of commands on the server, or the workstation, or both? Is timesync working between any other clients and the server?

This is a virtual server with one client (my PC). I've noticed that after I turn on my pc and then the virtual server, the time on the pc is 3 minutes slower, but then it catches up. What bothers me though is the fact that this happens all the time. Why does it always have to catch up? If they are in sync why don't they stay in sync?

What hypervisor? Is time sync enabled within the virtualization system? You should probably search for stuff related to domain controllers and time sync on virtual servers. There's a lot out there about it.
