    Windows Time Service

    What is the basic configuration for the Windows Time Service to work as a Time Server so that computers of the LAN can syncronise with it?

    Is there a better way of doing it without having to manually change registry settings like explained here? : http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...4054&x=11&y=22

    I think its not necessary to install the official NTP (Network Time Protocol) once this service comes built in windows, correct ?

    thank you.

      If, by "LAN", you mean simple file sharing home network, then set each computer up to receive its own service: Double-click your clock (or Control Panel|Date and Time); it's on the Internet Time tab. If you have a domain server, the setup is probably what you read about.

                  Hi!
                  I got it to run now, by changing the registry in the link I posted. But, there is a weird problem.

                  In the LAN, I tested it with 2 pcs. One client worked fine, but the other says that "The RPC server is not running". It seems like it doesnt even try to sync, because as soon as you release the button the error appears.
                  They are both (including the server) with the same OS, WinXP Sp2.

                  Any ideas?

                      Go to My Computer|Manage |Services and Applications|Se rvices and set "Remote Procedure Call" to Automatic.
