Configuring SNTP
There are two levels of Network Time Protocol (NTP) time servers available
on the Internet.
First-level time servers are primarily intended to act as source time servers
for second-level time servers. First-level time servers may also be capable
of providing mission-critical time services. Some first-level time servers may
have a restricted access policy.
Second-level time servers are intended for general SNTP time service
needs and usually enable public access. It is recommended that you use
second-level time servers for normal SNTP time server configuration
because they are normally located on a closer network that can produce
faster updates.
It is recommended that you research any time server selection to ensure
that it can meet your specific time server requirements. More information
and a list of SNTP time servers can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262680/.
If the time on the time server is more than the threshold value away from the
current time on the QuickPanel View/Control, then the time is not updated.
Setting the Threshold to 0 tells the utility to always accept the time from the
server. This setting would be useful in a case where the backup battery has
died and the QuickPanel View/Control was power cycled, since the internal
clock would have reset back to January 1, 1980 12:00 am.
