Windows 2003/XP Time Service

I've had problems in the past with the time service in windows not working correctly or the Internet Time tab grayed out on the Date and Time Properties menu. Here is the best solution I have cobbled together to make it work again. From a commend prompt:

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister [you might get an error]
w32tm /unregister [do it again]
> reboot the machine
> open another command prompt
w32tm /register
net start w32time

If your Internet Time tab was grayed out before, it should be back to normal now. For either case, you should be able to click the Update Now button and get the correct time.
