Configure A System Running Windows XP Professional Or Windows Server 2003 To Be A Network Time Server (NTP)
A system running Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003 can be configued as a Time Server in the event that access to the Internet is not allowed and a time server is not located on the network. Once configured, this system can be used by a Room Alert or TemPageR product to obtain and update the date and time. The 'Windows Time' Service will be used and should be present in the systems Service list. The application executable is 'w32time.exe'. The parameter list for w32time can be found in the Windows Registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time To configure a Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003 machine as a time source for devices on the network, make the following Registry changes in the Windows Registry: Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type Value: NTP Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags Value: 5 Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NTPClient\SpecialPollInterval Value: 900 Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NTPServer\Enabled Value: 1 Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer Value: List of IP addresses or DNS names, seperated by a space, of NTP servers that the Windows XP Pro or 2003 Server can synchronize with. More information on the Windows XP Time service can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054/EN-US/ 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.
