Notes
* The most common use of this procedure is to synchronize the internal network’s authoritative time source with a very precise external time source. However, you can run this procedure on any Windows XP-based computer.
* If the computer cannot reach the servers, the procedure does not succeed and an entry is written to the Event log.
* You can use computers on the Internet to provide accurate time information. For example, use the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which provides the NIST Network Time service.
