To turn your Windows computer into a timeserver, double-click on the clock in the lower right
taskbar and open the following example. After some seconds the
tab “Internet Time” appears.
Click on “Internet Time” and check if the timeserver you have chosen here works correctly.
After having configured and started your Microsoft Windows Timeserver you have to reboot
your computer and check the Event Logfile of Windows to ensure, the service was started
correctly. In this case, you can configure your CS121 Timeserver using the IP-address of this
Windows computer.
Note:
Please check if your computer is reachable through the network. You
may have to change the Windows Firewall settings to allow
inbound/Outbound UDP port 123.
At Windows Server 2003 and 2008 it is required to enable the NTP server into the registry
manually. Open the following folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\Ntp
Server
Click with the right mouse button onto “Enabled” and change the “Value Data” from 0 to 1.
After this change stop/start the W32 Time service.
