Okay so I've tried stopping/registering the win32tm service on this Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Computer.
C:\Users\Administrator>net stop w32time
The Windows Time service is stopping.
The Windows Time service was stopped successfully.
C:\Users\Administrator>w32tm /unregister
The following error occurred: Access is denied. (0x80070005)
C:\Users\Administrator>w32tm /unregister
W32Time successfully unregistered.
C:\Users\Administrator>w32tm /register
W32Time successfully registered.
C:\Users\Administrator>net start w32time
The Windows Time service is starting.
The Windows Time service was started successfully.

And I get this error from the Date and Time, Internet Time tab (After also following the steps here).
I've even tried the Atomic Time Clock Worldtimeserver and I get the error The following error occurred: The specified module could not be found. (0x8007007E).
I've also disabled the Windows Firewall, that might of been blocking the synchronization.
I've done a file scan with sfc /scannow that came back with no errors.
C:\Users\Administrator>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

But I'm not having much luck. Is there anyway lo possibly solve this? or is the time.windows.com servers unsupported? because the software is from 2008? (I really don't know :/), My ping result to time.windows.com
