Windows Server time Server configuration method 1 time the Server will often encounter client machines that need to be synchronized with the Server in time; otherwise, various problems may occur, especially when there is a time-related trigger function.

In this way, the time difference between devices is easily less than 1 s. NTP ----- Network Time Protocol 2 Server configuration is applicable to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. 1) Open the UDP port 123 of the firewall; 2) Enter "gpedit. msc "; 3) Expand" management template \ System \ Windows Time Service \ global configuration settings "in" Computer Configuration "under" policy "; 4) change its status to "enabled"; 5) change the AnnounceFlags parameter value to 5, 6) expand "management template \ System \ Windows Time Service \ time provider \ Enable Windows NTP server" in "Computer Configuration" under "policy" 7) change its status to "enabled"; 8) Start Windows Time Service in Windows service, and set the Startup Type to "automatic"; 9) complete. 3 client configuration is applicable to Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Sever 2008. 1) Enter "gpedit. msc "; 2) Expand" management template \ System \ Windows Time Service \ time provider \ Enable Windows NTP client "in" Computer Configuration "under" policy ". 3) change its status to "enabled"; 4) expand "management template \ System \ Windows Time Service \ time provider \ configuration Windows NTP client" in "policy" under "Computer Configuration" 5) change its status to "enabled "; 6) change the IP address in the NtpServer parameter to the time server address: xxx. xxx. xxx. xxx, 0x9; 7) change the Type parameter NTP; 8) Start the Windows Time Service in the Windows service and set the start Type to "automatic"; 9) double-click "time" in the lower-right corner of the taskbar to open the [time and date properties] Setting Dialog Box 10) select [Internet time] label 11) Select the [synchronize automatically with Internet time server] option, in [server Enter "xxx. xxx" in the server ".
