I hav configured my key domain controller to sync time with an exterior 
time server by editing the Registry as noted during the microsoft post. 
  
I've some other domain controller which can be no lengthier my main domain 
controller that also gets time from an exterior time supply. ( I believe I did 
this through net time /setsntp:nameofserver)  
Queries: 
1. Is there any difference in by using net time /setsntp vs editing the 
registry manually? (wanting to know why microsoft and other content I saw are 
which makes it significantly more problematic by requiring you to edit the registry?).  
two. How do I set my domain controller which is no longer my key domain 
controller to obtain time from your primary domain controller (default 
settings) in place of the exterior time source. Must I edit the registry 
settings or simply do a net time /setsntp:nameofmynewprimarydomaincontroller??  
For this solution I might want to know what the registry settings must for 
the default setting around the server. 
Illustration: 
Do I improve 
HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParamete  rsTypeNTP 
back again to 
HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParamete  rsTypeNT5DS 
Delete this key (for some motive the nptserver entry was not in my main 
domain server so I had to enter 
it)HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParam  etersNtpServer 
etc and so forth.  
3. How do I verify my other domain servers and member servers to ensure they 
are getting time in the primary domain server? When I do a net time 
/querysntp,
Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 Serial, I obtain the existing SNTP value is: time.windows.com,
Microsoft Office Pro 2007 Product Key, 0x1. I 
thought the default setting was that the other servers synched time with all the 
PDC.  
Thanks.
