How do you configure your PC as NTP server?
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard for synchronizing computer system clocks over package-based communication networks.
Although this is usually done via UDP, it can also be transported by other Layer 4 protocols such as TCP, for example. It was specially developed to enable reliable time relaying via networks with variable package runtimes.
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a simplified version of NTP. It is described in RFC 2030. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is described in RFC 958.
Instructions for the following Windows operating systems:
-
Windows 2000
-
Windows XP
-
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008 (32 Bit)
Follow the instructions to configure your local PC as NTP server. In this way you can synchronize other devices with the local PC.
Open the registry editor via "Start > Run... > regedit".
Search for the code
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters".Set the "LocalNTP" value to 1.
Note
If the "LocalNTP" value does not exist in your system, create a new DWORD value.
The value 0 means disabled, 1 means enabled
Restart the computer to make the changes effective.
Instructions for the following Windows operating systems:
Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit)
Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)
Follow the instructions to configure your local PC as NTP server. In this way you can synchronize other devices with the local PC.
Stop the "Windows Time" service via Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services.
Open the registry editor via "Start > Run... > regedit".
Search for the code "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer".
Set the "Enable" value to 1.
-
Search for the code
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\Config". Set the "AnnounceFlags" value to 5.
Start the "Windows Time" again and set the start type to "Automatic".
Note
When using the Windows server 2012 R2 (64-bit), after Step 7 you have to set the start type to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" for the service to start automatically.
If, when using Windows 7 or the Windows Server 2008 R2, the "Windows Time" service always stops, follow these instructions:

Follow the instructions below for configuring the "Windows Time" service when using an internal hardware clock and an external time source.

If the firewall is enabled, it must be configured to permit external access to Port 123. This is necessary because the time server service expects external request messages.
