If you manage a corporate network
of any size, time accuracy is one of the tasks you have to deal
with. In a corporate environment, it is essential that every computer
(and user) works with the same accurate time. This allows your colleagues
to make it in time for offline and online meetings, join teleconferences
at the scheduled time and send documents before deadlines. The task
of regular time synchronization in your LAN becomes even more important
is you work for a company that works with international clients
or online systems, such as auctions or electronic exchanges. These
automated systems may not let you perform a vital operation after
a certain time, while you may still have a couple of minutes to
go – or so will your Windows clock say.
SNTP Time Server is an RFC-2030 standard protocol
windows time server supporting the Time and SNTP standards. You
can use Absolute Time Server to synchronize your PC to a primary
time source such as an atomic clock on the internet.
