That's pretty funny.  Microsoft Knowledge Base article 121005 lists the
DHCP options that Windows accepts, and the address of NTP servers is not
among them.  Oh well, the article is pretty old; maybe newer versions of
Windows accept more of the options.

And I think you want "net time /setsntp:servername".
