Time sync between ubuntu and windows

Question

Iam working as a linux admin. In our company we are using a ubuntu server with windows clients. The time in each clients are not same. Is it possible to sync time from ubuntu server with the windows clients ? Plz help

Solution

This write up explains how to setup your Ubuntu Server as an NTP Server and how to configure your Windows Clients to use your server to sync their time.

Keep in mind that the instructions may differ slightly because you haven't provided the specs of your Ubuntu Server, but the principal will be the same:

Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server and Clients Setup in Ubuntu

Additional information, specifically for Ubuntu 12.04

NTP Server - 12.04

Yes, it is possible. ;-) Are you asking how to set up an Ubuntu NTP server, or how to have Windows clients sync to an Ubuntu NTP server?

cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS"......this is the spec
