Admins can create a Time Service Configuration policy to configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers, polling intervals, and additional time synchronization settings on their Windows devices enrolled in JumpCloud MDM. You can apply this configuration to both individual devices and devices groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create a Windows Time Synchronisation policy<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT<\/strong> > Policy Management<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In the All<\/strong> tab, click (+<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. On the New Policy<\/strong> panel, select the Windows<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Select Windows Time Service Configuration <\/strong>from the list, then click configure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. (Optional) In the Policy Name<\/strong> field, enter a new name for the policy or keep the default. Policy names must be unique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. (Optional) In the Policy Notes<\/strong> field, enter details like when you created the policy, where you tested it, and where you deployed it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. In the Settings<\/strong> section, select the Enable Windows NTP Client <\/strong>checkbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Select the Configure Windows NTP Client <\/strong>checkbox to configure the required details. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p><\/div>

    Note:<\/strong> \n

    For more information about individual fields, see Microsoft\u2019s Policy CSP – <\/a>ADMX_W32Time<\/a> documentation.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Enter the name or IP address of the NTP time source in the NTP Server <\/strong>field. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p><\/div>

      Note:<\/strong> \n
        \n
      • The default value time.windows.com,0x09<\/code> is pre-populated. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • You can specify the NTP servers that you want your devices to synchronise the time with, each separated by a comma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. In the Type<\/strong> field, select the type of authentication that W32time uses. NT5DS<\/strong> is selected by default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. In the Cross Site Sync Flags<\/strong> dropdown, select the time sources that Windows Time will use from outside its local site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p><\/div>

          Note:<\/strong> \n
            \n
          • The default value of 2 is selected by default.\n
              \n
            • 0<\/strong> – Time synchronisation will not be attempted outside of the local site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • 1 <\/strong>– Only computers acting as Primary Domain Controller (PDC) emulators in other domains can be used as time sync partners outside the local site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • 2 <\/strong>– Any synchronization partner can be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. In the Resolve Peer Back off (in minutes) <\/strong>field, <\/strong>specify <\/strong>how long Windows Time should wait before retrying to resolve the time server address after a failed attempt. This is set to 15 <\/strong>mins by default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. In the Resolve Peer Back off (attempts)<\/strong> field, specify how many times Windows Time will retry resolving the time server address after a failure. After reaching the limit, it stops attempting to contact the server. This is set to 7<\/strong> times by default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. In the Special Poll Interval (in seconds)<\/strong> field, specify how often the system will synchronize its time with a configured NTP server when using a manual time source. This is set to 1024<\/strong> seconds by default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. In the Event Log Flags<\/strong>, the value 3 is selected by default.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Select the Enable Windows NTP Server<\/strong> checkbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. (Optional) Select the Device Groups<\/strong> tab. Select one or more device groups where you want to apply this policy. For device groups with multiple OS member types, the policy is applied only to the supported OS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. (Optional) Select the Devices<\/strong> tab. Select one or more devices where you want to apply this policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Click Save<\/strong>. If prompted, click Save<\/strong> again. No further action is needed for this policy to take effect. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
