w32tm /query /status

I got:

The command /query is unknown.

Then I tried:

reg QUERY [\\machine\]HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time

I got:

ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

Then I tried:

net time /querysntp

I got:

This computer is not currently configured to use a specific SNTP server.

So, basically, the service was not running. Following these instructions, I did:

w32tm /unregister
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time

Finally, all the above would work. Then I just needed to set my ntp up... I did it with:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:10.0.0.5 /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

following instructions from here, but perhaps it could've been as easy as:

net time /setsntp:10.0.0.5

as instructed here. (10.0.0.5 being my local NTP server). If you're not using a local NTP server, you can use the generic one:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

Finally, you might need to do the following, which was not necessary for me:

w32tm /config /update
w32tm /resync /rediscover
