Have just had a bit of an issue with our time setup after an issue with our PDC. Am on clear up duty now but am struggling with some 2003 servers.
On server 2008 I can run w32tm /query /source and it responds with the DC that it has synced time with (or not if it has been configured incorrectly).
I cannot seem to find a similar command on Server 2003. the /query switch is not listed and returns errors. Will one of the registry settings from /dumpreg inform me if the server is using /syncfromflags:domhier?
I am really hoping to just check that all our servers are set to use the domain hierarchy for their time source and not some external source or incorrect server (in the past a previous admin had been know to set the firewall as the NTP source in the registry, this is something we want to move away from).
We are using Server 2008 DCs and have domain and forest levels set to 2008.

The equivalent of w32tm /query on XP and 2003 is "net time /querysntp".
