=== NTP Client === | |||
Machines that are part of a domain will synchronise their time with the domain controllers, but standalone machines (or domain controllers) need to be configured to behave as NTP clients. | |||
The server's NTP config in the registry hive '''<code>HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time</code>''' needs to be updated as follows to enable the server's system clock to update via NTP. Restart the NTP service to apply. | |||

| MaxAllowedPhaseOffset || 30 || Secs. If clock if off by more, its' abruptly set rather than incremented | |||
|- | |||
| MaxPosPhaseCorrection || 5400 || Secs. Maximum positive phase correction allowed (if greater, no change occurs) | |||

Once completed, restart the Win32 Time service | |||
