How to configure time synchonize in sun solaries 10 with windows server

Your command would be a bad idea on a production system. Much better to use the -a option like this:

date -a sss.fff

so that the system slowly changes time. When you do it abruptly, the way you indicated, time-dependent processes can get hammered.
