By default, Windows computers utilise the following hierarchy: - All time client workstations nominate their domain controller as their time synchronisation source. In the hierarchy the PDC emulator in the forest root domain is the primary time reference for the organisation. The PDC in the forest root domain can have its internal reference clock controlled in a number of ways: - By utilising it's own internal system clock.
However, unsynchronised system clocks will drift significantly over time. An accurate time can be obtained from an Internet NTP server, however, this raises security issues since accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Also, the NTP port in the firewall must be left open for synchronisation.
Additionally, Internet based NTP servers cannot provide authentication, so the source of time cannot be guaranteed. A local NTP server has the advantage of providing a traceable time reference and also secure authentication. A GPS or radio based hardware reference clock provides a secure traceable time reference. Windows Time Service Configuration. Configuration of the Windows Time Service is carried out by editing registry entries. It is highly recommended that the registry be backed up before conducting any modifications.
This allows the registry to be restored in the event of erroneous modification. This makes the PDC announce itself as a reliable time source. However, the system clock can drift over time and is not referenced to an accurate time source. Thanks for any guidance, Wes. Best Answer. Texkonc Feb 5, at UTC.
