Solution
To configure a Windows Server 2008 R2 system to act as an internal NTP server within a domain, you can follow these steps:
  1. Enable the Windows Time service:
    • Open an elevated command prompt.
    • Run the following command to start the Windows Time service: net start w32time
    []Check the current Windows Time service configuration:
    • In the command prompt, type: w32tm /query /status
    [
    ]Configure the server to be a reliable time source:
    • In the command prompt, run the following command: w32tm /config /reliable:yes
    • Restart the Windows Time service for changes to take effect: net stop w32time net start w32time

    • Restart the Windows Time service for changes to take effect: net stop w32time net start w32time
    []Specify an external time source (if needed):
    • To synchronize with an external NTP server, set the NTP server address. For example, to sync with pool.ntp.org: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:pool.ntp.org /syncfromflags:MANUAL w32tm /config /update net stop w32time net start w32time

    ]Configure Windows Server 2008 as an NTP server:
    • In the command prompt, run the following command: w32tm /config /syncfromflags:DOMHIER /reliable:YES /update
    • Open the registry editor (regedit).
    • Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
    • Create a new DWORD value called "AnnounceFlags" (if not already present) set to 5.
    • Restart the Windows Time Service.
  2. Allow NTP traffic through the Windows Firewall:
    • Open the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" console.
    • Create an inbound rule to allow UDP traffic on port 123 (NTP). By following these steps, you can configure a Windows Server 2008 R2 system to act as an internal NTP server within your domain.
