Would that it were so simple.

Windows won't sync with a timeserver if the skew is over a certain
(quite small) limit. It also readily gets confused due to poor
geolocation tech and either thinks it's in one timezone but the
machine is in a different one, or guesses one or both of these based
on poor geolocation and gets them wrong.

There are multiple things which go wrong.

So I run a 3rd party app:

NIStime32 -- http://appnee.com/nistime-32/

... and use it to sync manually to the NIS timeservers:
