Block time sync on one workstation

I am running a W2K3 Server domain. It is doing a great job handing out the
time sync to all logged in domain computers. However, I have one computer
that needs to run 3 seconds faster than the atomic clock (we're a radio
station). How do I modify that single workstation so that it does not accept
the time sync from the domain controller?

Click to expand...

Right-click "My Computer"
Select "Manage"
Select "Services and Applications"
Select "Services"
Find "Windows Time" in the list of services and double-click on it.
Click "Stop" to stop the service
Change "Startup type" to "Disabled" to prevent it from running again on
reboot.
"OK" your way out.

If you also run a Novell client, you should also disable the time-sync
function on the Novell configuration panel.

HTH,

You can also bloack outgoing packets to the DC with a destination port of
123. Then you might be able to run the net time setsntp/localhost command to
have it synch with itself. I only offer this as an alternative as I'm not
sure what might function strangely if the time service is disabled?
