When running the 2008 R2 BPA for the Active Directoy role I got an error that the server wasn't configured to fetch time from an external time source.

In a nutshell run this command on the server that holds the PDC FSMO role: 

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:us.pool.ntp.org /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

This sets the external time source to a pool of US servers hosted by NTP.org.

Note: A quick way to check the location of the FSMO roles: netdom /query fsmo
