NTP Software Installation and Configuration

Installing the Service

The NTP service must be registered with the Windows NT Service Control Manager and configured to start at system boot.

To register the service, use the command line utility, INSTSRV.EXE, provided with NTP. The INSTSRV.EXE utility requires a single parameter representing the complete path to the location of the NTPD.EXE executable. This example assumes Windows NT is installed in: C:\WINNT. If your system directory is different, modify the path to the NTP executable accordingly.

1.Start a command prompt window, and change to the directory containing the INSTSRV.EXE utility.

2.Type instsrv c:\winnt\system32\ntpd.exe.
