Using the Domain Controller as a
Reference Time Source
Windows 2000 machines automatically synchronize their time with the Domain
Controller, when joined to the domain, but Windows NT machines do not. If
your configuration relies on NetTime to synchronize such machines, you can
use the Domain Controller as the reference server for NetTime clients,
eliminating the need for a separate NetTime server. You do not need to run a
NetTime server on the domain controller.
To redirect NetTime to use the Domain Controller as its time source:
1. Select Start | Programs | NetTime | NetTime .
2. In the System Tray, right-click on the NetTime icon and select Properties .
3. Click Settings .
4. Add the name of the Domain Controller and select SNTP from the Protocol
drop-down list; leave all other settings as is.
5. Click OK .
