I am getting this error at the system log:

Source: w32Time
Type: Error
Event ID: 62

This Machine is a PDC of the domain at the root
of the forest configured to sync from External time source
using net command, 'net time/setsntp: '<server name>'

I have only 1 domain and server at this location.
But I dont know where to configure the Time Syncronization.

Any Ideas?

First of all, this is not an error, regardless of what it says. It is
more informational than anything else. You can ignore it without affecting
the operation of your system or network.
What this message is telling you is that as the PDC Emulator in the
forest root domain, this machine should be set to synchronize its clock with
an external NTP time source. All the other AD domain members in that forest
will synchronize their clocks with this machine (although not all of them
will synchronize directly with this machine). KB article Q224799
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q224/7/99.ASP) describes
the basic operation of the W32TIME time service. It also contains a
reference to an article describing the exact steps necessary to configure an
authoritative time server, and the names of possible servers to use.
