Per http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;285641&sd=RMVP,
Win2K (SP3) or later should support a space-delimited list*. Since I've
never used a space delimited list under Win2K (SP3) or later, I would say
try it and then verify the results with the w32tm /v /once command just to
make sure.
/neo
ps - your server list needs to be enclosed in double quotes.
eg. net time /setsntp:"server1.domain.ext server2.domain.ext"
