JSI Tip 5414. How do I make my PDC emulator an authoritative time server for my domain without it synchronizing with a reliable time source?

In tip 2669, I described how to make the PDC emulator an authoritative time server by synchronizing with a reliable SNTP server on the internet.

If you do not want to synchronize with a reliable time source, your PDC emulator can still be authoritative by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type Value Name to a data value of NoSync:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters]
"Type"="NoSync"
