How can I query an NTP server under Windows?

I am not interested in synchronizing my local clock with the remote server. I only want to query it and print the result.
I would have assumed that there is a port of ntpq for Windows, but was unable to find any.
All other NTP clients I could find, they always want to install themselves as a service or make it otherwise clear that they want to synchronize my local time.

I don't know if this works as expected, because I receive a valid time whatever I put as computer value.

Bytefusion's ntpquery seems to be incredibly old, but works. Sadly, it requires initial installation, but the application files will work fine when copied to another system.
