External timing source

[Guest Scott Cummins]

Hello Fellow Windows Server people

 

I am wondering if any one can give me some pointers on an External timing

souirce to point my DC too. My development time doesn't like the fact that I

am syncing all my servers to my DC"s Crystal..(Do they still use oscillating

crystals?)

mentions both NIST and USNO time servers as valid sources.

 

USNO's servers can be found listed here:

The NTP site also has a list of Public Time Servers to choose from as well:
