OVH lacks of documentation, especially for windows, and when you find something, it’s too old. So here it is… how to change Windows NTP Server to OVH NTP…
Open POWERSHELL, check current state:
w32tm /query /peers
Set the NTP Server to OVH one:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:”ntp0.ovh.net”
Restart the w32time Service:
restart-service w32time (instead of stop-service w32time ; start-service w32time)
Check current state again:
w32tm /query /peers
If it says “State: Active” then everything went fine!
Done!
