Configuring Windows Time service to use an internal hardware clock
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
- Locate and then click the following registry entry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\
- In the right pane, right-click AnnounceFlags, and then click Modify.
- In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, under Value data, type 5, and then click OK.
- Enable NTPServer.
- Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer\
- In the right pane, right-click Enabled, and then click Modify.
- In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 1 under Value data, and then click OK.
- Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
- Exit Registry Editor.
- At the command prompt, type the following command to restart the Windows Time service, and then press ENTER:net stop w32time && net start w32time
- To
reset the local computers' time against the time server, run the
following command on all the computers except the time server:
w32tm /resync /rediscover
The time provider NtpClient cannot reach or is currently receiving invalid time data from 192.168.1.1 (ntp.m|0x0|192.168.1.1:123->192.168.1.1:123).
No response has been received from Manual peer 192.168.1.1 after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer from which to synchronize.
The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources. However, none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 960 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.
Time Provider NtpClient: This machine is configured to use the domain hierarchy to determine its time source, but it is the PDC emulator for the domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain hierarchy to use as a time source. We recommend that you either configure a reliable time service in the root domain, or that you manually configure the PDC to synchronize with an external time source. Otherwise, this computer will function as the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy. If an external time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable the NtpClient.
