Time server

A Time Server is a computer (server) that keeps track of the current date and time and distributes that time to computers connected to it via a computer network. The server can be a locally connected computer or one that is located on the Internet. Most computers today will automatically sync with a time server to keep their computer clocks up-to-date. To manually update or change your Microsoft Windows time server follow the below steps.
