In that environment you should have not problem using
w32tm /resync . . .
provided you do not use the /computer command and so
only resync the machine logged into.
If w32tm is registered and running as NTP server on one
then you should be able to config the others to get time
from it (i.e.again, without use of /computer here either)
and they should thereafter do so without issue and also
without any need to change accounts used for the service.
Are these what you have attempted to get working ?
If you are trying to use the /computer switch to do this
remotely, well, yes, it is going to say it does not like
who you are as you are not using a domain account it
can recognize nor one of its local accounts. If you had
more than 10 boxes to set up this way it might be worth
looking at ways to break that down so you could do it
all from one place, but you say you intentionally want
admins on one to differ from those on others for safety,
which is good, so why destroy that?
