Microsoft's Network Time Protocol Server
|
Posted By:
ActiveWin.com |
Want to configure your computer to Microsoft's NTP* (Network Time Protocol) server. The address is time.windows.com. You can configure your Windows Time service to point on this server easily. NOTE: If you have a clean installation of Windows 2003 member server, not in a domain, time.windows.com is the default value. Don’t be surprised if you see this IP in your firewall traffic log 207.46.248.43 UDP 123.
1- open command prompt and type “net time /setsntp:time.windows.com”
2- now your clock is very precise.

*The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example. Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant servers and diverse network paths in order to achieve high accuracy and reliability. From http://www.ntp.org
