Setting your own time server (or perhaps pool.ntp.org) in Windows

http://www.timetoolsglobal.com/2013/06/21/how-to-synchronize-microsoft-windows-to-a-ntp-server-1/

Single Command for Windows servers, to use NTP
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual 
/manualpeerlist:0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org,3.pool.ntp.org
After that, the trick is to tell the windows server that the time configuration has changed, this is done with
w32tm /config /update
Finally, tell the time service to update
w32tm /resync
 
 
The following command will tell you where the server is getting it's time from 
w32tm /query /source

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
