The Windows Time service uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to help synchronize time across a network. It's as easy as 3 commands using powershell:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpServer" -Name "Enabled" -Value 1
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\Config" -Name "AnnounceFlags" -Value 5 
Restart-Service w32Time
