To configure an internal time server to synchronize with an external time source, follow these steps: 

Open registry editor 


1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type = NTP


2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags = 5


3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer\Enabled = 1


4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer = some1.ntp.server,0x1 some2.ntp.server,0x1


5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient\SpecialPollInterval = 900


6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxPosPhaseCorrection = 72000 (decimal)


7. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxNegPhaseCorrection = 72000 (decimal)


Close Registry Editor.


At the command prompt, type the following command to restart the Windows Time service, and then press Enter: 


net stop w32time && net start w32time
