Setting up a time server

If you wish to set up a computer to function as a time server, several systems such as Windows2000-Server and XP-Server support this.

With other systems, such as Windows2000 Professional or XP Professional, this feature can be activated via the registry settings.

Proceed as follows:

1. Click Start > Run…
2. Enter regedit in the input field.
3. Confirm this action with OK.
4. Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > lanmanserver > parameters.
5. Double-click TimeSource.
6. Enter…
7. Restart the system.
It now acts as a time server.
