4. Right click on Configure Windows NTP Client and select properties. In the property page that
appears, click the Enabled radio button. In the NtpServer box enter the IP address of the time
server on the network. In the Type box select NTP. Then click OK.

5. Close out all group policy windows. Your system should sync itself within a few minutes!* If you are
over 15 hours apart, please adjust your system manually as windows will not sync gaps larger than
15 hours by default.

*Note: Sometimes it is necessary to reboot the PC to force an update to the group policy. You can also force
an update by typing gpupdate /force at the command prompt. You may also need to restart the Windows
Time Service as well. This can be done from the services page under Administrative Tools.
