Keeping Accurate Time on Your Computer Using NTP Servers
Computer systems utilise low-cost timing components that keep very poor time. The timing chips and oscillators used by many PC circuit board manufacturers can cause system time to drift wildly, by minutes every day. For environments that require synchronised time over a range of processes or devices, an alternative must be found. This is where the Network Time Protocol, or NTP, comes in. NTP...

Common NTP Server Terminology Explained
Much of the terminology associated with computer time synchronisation and NTP servers can be quite obscure. This article attempts to explain in simple language some of the terminology used in computer timing applications. NTP: NTP is the short hand name given to the Network Time Protocol; it is a standard protocol for distributing time around the internet and computer networks. Precise time is passed from accurate...

Configuring An Authoritative Time Server On A Windows 2000 Server
The Windows 2000 Server operating system includes a time synchronisation service called w32time or Windows Time. The service is installed by default and runs continuously in the service list. The time service is required by the Kerberos authentication protocol to ensure all computers running in a Windows 2000 environment utilise a common shared time. This article describes how to set up... (posted by Dave 4 years 112 days ago.)

How to Configure a Windows 2003 Time Server
All PC's have internal Real Time Clocks (RTC) that maintain time and date information. PC real time clocks are battery backed so that they can maintain time even when the PC is powered off. The PC Real Time Clock provides time and date information to operating system processes and user applications. Often this is adequate, however, for many applications PC time may need to be...

Differences Between NTP and SNTP
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) was developed to distribute time around a computer network to network time clients. It is one of the oldest Internet protocols still in operation. Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) was developed as a simplified version of NTP. It lacks many of the complexities of the NTP protocol and is ideal for implementation on computers with low processing power. This article describes the differences...

Building a NTP Server
NTP is an Internet protocol used to disseminate time around computer networks to network time clients. An NTP server provides a network with a highly accurate source of time. With the addition of a radio or GPS clock, you can provide your network with an accurate timing reference. This article describes how to build and configure your very own stratum one NTP Server. By adding a relatively cheap GPS or radio time standards receiver... (posted by Dave 4 years 286 days ago.)
