การเพิ่ม Time Server และเปลี่ยนแปลงความถึ่ของการ Synchronize

To synchronize more often

find the W32Time registry key given below modify the existing value called "SpecialPollInterval". If you don't see SpecialPollInterval listed in this section, you can create it as a new DWORD value. The value of this should be set to the number of Seconds between sync attempts. If you wanted to check once per day, the value would be 86400.

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpClient]
Value Name: SpecialPollInterval
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Seconds in Decimal

To add more time servers

first check to see if your version of Windows will let you simply type them in on the screen shown above. If so, this saves you the trouble and possible problems of editing the registry yourself.

If your version of Windows won't let you simply add them on the screen above, you may need to add them manually yourself. Find the registry key for DateTime Servers provided in full below and create a new string value. Name it the next number in sequence (usually '3') and set the data of the new value to equal the hostname or IP address of the time server.

You can also change the default server by setting the value of "(Default)" to the entry number of the required server.

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionDateTimeServers]
Value Name: (Default)
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: Server Hostname or IP Address
