I was in search of a way to determine from where our Windows 7 / Windows XP workstations were getting their local time. Well, we knew they were supposed to be getting their time from our DNS server but we just wanted to verify that.  Turns out you can run the following command on Windows 7 to see just that: w32tm /query /status

This cmd returns the following information:

Leap Indicator: 0(no warning)
Stratum: 3 (secondary reference - syncd by (S)NTP)
Precision: -6 (15.625ms per tick)
Root Delay: 0.0779877s
