Near as I can figure, AD automatically sets each DC to sync time with the master DC. In order to make sure the master DC has the proper time and is set to be an available & reliable time source, run the following commands:

1NET TIME /SETSNTP:time.windows.com
2NET STOP W32TIME
3NET START W32TIME
4W32TM /config /reliable:YES
5W32TM /resync /rediscover

Next, run the following command on the other DCs.

1W32TM /resync /rediscover

And you're done!
