Win32 Time Service Informational, Warning, and Error Messages

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SUMMARY

Windows 2000 uses a new time synchronization service to synchronize the date and time of computers on a Windows 2000-based network. Synchronized time is critical in Windows 2000 because the default authentication protocol (Kerberos version 5) uses workstation time as part of the authentication ticket generation process. The Windows Time Synchronization service (W32Time) is a fully compliant implementation of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) as detailed in IETF RFC 1769 viewable at the following Web site:

http://www.ietf.org/rfcs/rfc1769.txt
