Time Synchronization
using
Following are the steps for time synchronization in a windows based computer network.
Note that this procedure will not work if firewall is present between client and server. Few
additional steps need to be added which we will deal separately.
Windows Time Service: Maintains date and time synchronization on all clients and servers in
the network. If this service is stopped, date and time synchronization will be unavailable. If this
service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

as a client for PC-2 but it acts as a
time server for PC-4 and PC-5.
