Don't mess with that. By default All DCs will sync with their PDCe and all
PDCEs in the forest will sync with the PDCe at the root. So basically you
can re-direct the PDCe at the root to sync with a trusted partner and all
DCs will be in sync with their local PDCe and the PDCe at the root.
The time.windows.com is configured by default at the registry, but in domain
scenario the servers will use their DC ou PDCe to time sync (by default) the
w32tm Windows 2003 uses W32TM not NET TIME.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.
