NTP : Configure NTP Client2021/12/01 |
|
Configure NTP Client to synchronize time with NTP Server.
NTP Client setting is configured with NTP Server [time.windows.com] by Windows default,
so If Internet connected environment computer, time and date is already synchronizing.
Furthermore, if computers are in Active Directory Domain, NTP Client setting is also configured like follows, so generally it does not need to change settings.
* Domain Controlers synchronizes time with PDC in the Domain
* PDC in a Domain synchronizes time with PDC that is in Parent Domain or synchronizes time with other Domain Controlers * Client Computers synchronizes time with Domain Controler that Clients now logons
In WorkGroup Environment Computers, it's possbile to change default NTP Server to others like follows.

| [2] | If a Computer is in Active Directory Domain Environment and he is a Forrest Root, synchronization target is often configured to [Local CMOS Clock] (Hardware Clock), then, if you'd like to change settings from [Local CMOS Clock] to other network NTP server, set like follows. |
