Configuring Windows Xp as a Ntp Network Time Server

Time synchronisation in modern computer networks is essential, all computers need to know the time as many applications, from sending an email to storing information are reliant on the PC knowing when the event took place.

Microsoft Windows XP has a time synchronisation utility built into the operating system called Windows Time (w32time.exe) which can be configured to operate as a network time server.

Windows XP can easily set the system clock to use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, the World’s time standard) by accessing an Internet source (either: time.windows.com or time.nist.gov). To achieve this, a user merely has to double click the clock on their desktop and adjust the settings in the Internet Time tab.

It must be noted however, that Microsoft and other operating system manufacturers strongly advise that external timing references should be used as Internet sources can’t be authenticated.

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol already installed on Windows XP and is used by Windows Time to keep machines synchronised to the single time source. Specialist NTP servers are available that can receive a reliable time source via the GPS signal or specialist radio transmissions that get their time from atomic clocks.

If you wish to configure Windows XP to operate as a time server then first thing is to locate the Windows Time subkey. To do this, run Regedit (Click start/run/then type REGEDIT/and click enter.)

Note: editing your system registry can cause problems with your system. It is advisable to back up your system before editing the registry.

Now locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32Timeparameters
Right click the right-hand side and click Modify. In the Edit Value box, under Value Data, type NTP and then click OK.

Now go to the Config folder and right-click AnnounceFlags, Modify and in the Edit DWORD Value box, under Value Data, type 5, and then click OK.

Locate this subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpClient
Right-click in the right-side window and Modify. Edit the DWORD value box and type the number of seconds you want for each poll under Value data, i.e.: 900 will equal 15 minutes. The poll field represents the polling interval between NTP poll packets.

To allow Windows XP to operate as a network time server, the NTP service needs to be switched on. To activate NTP simply find the following subkey in the registry editor (regedit):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpServer
Right click enabled (in the right-hand window) then Modify. Edit the DWORD Value and type 1. Right-click NtpServer, then Modify and in the Edit DWORD Value under Value Data type Peers, then click OK.

Exit the registry and start windows time service by clicking Start/Run and typing:
net stop w32time && net start w32time.; Then on each computer on the network (other than the domain controller which can’t be synchronised with itself) type: W32tm/resync/rediscover.

IT Service Level Agreement Tips For Getting Great Clients

Do you want to offer an IT service level agreement to your clients, but you don't know where to start?

If you are a small business computer consultant, your most profitable clients will be those on service agreements. Besides knowing your own skills and being qualified to solve important business problems, you need to look carefully at the size and type of companies you intend to serve.

How can you plan your IT service level agreement, so you get more steady, high-paying clients? The following 3 tips can help you build a profitable service agreement business.

Choose the Right-Sized Businesses to Target with Your IT Service Level Agreement. When you are just starting your service agreement business, start small. Start with a client size that you can approach comfortably. This will probably be a business in the 10-50 systems range with one or two servers. They will typically not have wide area network connections and will have basic needs when it comes to business software applications. When you start by targeting smaller small businesses, you can set the stage for larger small business clients.
Keep Up Communication with Clients. In order to develop successful IT service level agreement relationships, you need to remain in constant contact with your valuable clients. Keeping communication lines open through e-mails, phone calls, or drop-ins will help you manage client expectations. If the service agreement is set up properly, you and your technical staff will be at each client site at least once or twice per month. Staying in touch on a regular basis is extremely important if you want to build quality client relationships, and manage and even exceed client expectations.
Surveys Can Help You Evaluate Your Progress. Send surveys out to prospects, customers, and clients as a part of your plan for a profitable IT service level agreement package. Surveys, particularly with clients, work best when sent a couple months before you are ready for contract renewals. You can adapt that schedule to twice per year or even quarterly for more interim feedback. Surveys can be informal, but you need to make sure you keep asking for feedback on a regular basis.
