Disable the NtpClient

[devastator]

How do you disable this in XP? We are on a NT 4 domain with a net time command that we use in the login script. When I check the event viewer on each machine it has an error stating that the NtpClient was unable to find a time server because we are on an NT 4 domain that doesn't support this, you may want to disable the NtpClient.

Fine, but where.


Thanks,

Drew

Open the Date and Time control panel. Then click on the Internet Time tab. Turn off the option to Automatically synchronize with a time server.

Hope that helps.

It was disabled there. I have cleared the event viewers and will see if it continues to show up.

devastator,

Apparently the time client will keep putting entries in the event log when you're not connected. See the link

If you still get those messages, then check if the Win32Time service is running. Set the startup option to manual or disable if it is.
