SUMMARY
Windows uses a new time synchronization service to synchronize the date and time of computers on a Windows-based network. Synchronized time is critical in Windows 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/rfc/rfc1769.txt?number=1769

The remainder of this article describes messages related to the Time Service in Windows.
