NTP on Windows Server 2000

Is there a way to run an NTP server on a Windows 2000
Server? Is there an inherent way to do this? Does it
require 3rd party software?
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

thanks much

Simple. You do the following:

At a command prompt, type net stop w32time. This stops the
Windows Time Service.

Type net time /setsntp:your server name.
The comand should complete successfully.

Type net start w32time and the service will restart.

Now, your WIndows2000 is the authoritative time server for
your network.

If you want your clients to sync their time with the sntp
server every time they login, then you can do that in a
login script. Type net time/? for syntax info.
