Jeff, I found this article. Might be of some help to you. You might have already read this but I thought it was worth a shot.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlagsThis registry entry controls whether the local computer is marked as a reliable time server (which is only possible if the previous registry entry is set to NTP as described above). Change this REG_DWORD value from 10 to 5 here.
UPDATE As per Jeff, best source of reference is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042

As Kyle said
w32tm /resyncis the modern way to do this. See this Link to Microsoft Knowledgebase (KB 307897) for more information on the w32tm command.There is also
net timewhich is an older version but perhaps easier.
