Domain Time II Server

	Runs as a low-overhead, unattended system service on both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) Windows systems. No need to have a user logged in to serve or set the time.
	Receives and serves multiple time protocols (Domain Time [I, II, and II over HTTP], NTP/SNTP [RFC 1719], TIME [RFC 868 TCP, UDP], Daytime, LANMan TOD)
	Can be remotely installed, configured and monitored by Domain Time II Management Tools.
	Can be configured locally using its Control Panel Applet.
	All configuration changes require Administrator privileges.
	Clock change monitor prevents manual tampering with system time and date.
	Can configure up to four time sources, with automatic fail-over on both IP address and protocol.
	Has built-in test features to verify the availability of any time source or protocol.
	Can retrieve and/or serve time through firewalls using existing web proxies (HTTP and SOCKS4) using the Domain Time II over HTTP protocol
	Can act as a Master, Slave or Independent server in Domain Time II's highly-efficient time distribution hierarchy, with these benefits: Time updates are propagated extremely rapidly to every system on the network . A Master server can automatically set system-wide accuracy parameters of Slaves or Clients. A Slave server automatically inherits all its settings from a Master, requiring no additional configuration. A Slave server running on a Domain Controller will automatically assume the Master role if its machine is promoted to PDC. Support for multi-domain networks (Both NT resource domains and Windows Active Directory Forests).
	Can trigger immediate system-wide time synchronization or individual machine sync from the Control Panel applet.
	Has advanced and proprietary accuracy features, such as time source averaging, clock slewing, clock training, sanity checks, more.
	Includes Domain Time II Windows Time Agent (see below).
	Includes a System Tray Applet which allows launch of installed Domain Time II programs, audible chime sync signals, and a pop-up graphical Activity Monitor to view time protocol traffic in real-time.
	Includes built-in Denial of Service (DoS) protection, and IP address access restriction capabilities for secure operation.
	Offers several levels and types of logging, with multiple log retention options.
	Includes built-in real-time log viewer to allow viewing of server activity while its happening.
	Can obtain time over dial-up links with free Dial-up Monitor utility.
	Server time and statistics can be checked from any web browser, or using the Domain Time II Management Tools.
	Server can be configured to provide a heartbeat sync pulse or NTP broadcast push if required.
	Control Panel applet Has extensive context sensitive help by pressing F1.

         

Domain Time II Clients

	Full, Thin (Automatic), and DTSet (Command-Line) clients available for Windows x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit).
	Client packages available for Solaris i386 and Linux (Red Hat, SuSE, others).
	All clients (except DTSet) run as unattended system services (daemons on UNIX and Linux). No logged in user is required to change the time.
	The Full and DTSet clients for Windows are multi-protocol, receiving Domain Time (I, II, and II over HTTP), NTP/SNTP (RFC 1719), TIME (RFC 868 TCP, UDP), LANMan TOD. Automatic clients use the Domain Time II protocol.
	Windows clients (except WFWG) can be remotely installed, configured and monitored by Domain Time II Management Tools.
	All configuration changes require Administrator privileges.
	Clock change monitor prevents manual tampering with system time and date.
	All clients (except DTSet) can autodiscover Domain Time II Servers.
	All clients (except DTSet) can query a DHCP server to automatically obtain the IP address of a time server.
	Full and Thin Client can inherit their accuracy settings automatically from a Slave or Master server.
	Windows client services include Domain Time II Windows Time Agent (see below).
	Full and Thin Client have a System Tray Applet which allows launch of installed Domain Time II programs, audible chime sync signals, and a pop-up graphical Activity Monitor to view time protocol traffic in real-time.
	Windows clients (except WFWG and DTSet) have advanced accuracy features, such as time source averaging, clock slewing, clock training, sanity checks, clock change monitoring, more.
	Time statistics for all Clients (except DTSet) can be tracked using the Domain Time II Management Tools and Audit Server.
	Full Client has these additional features: It can be configured locally using the Control Panel Applet. It can be configured with up to four time sources, with automatic fail-over on both IP address and protocol. It has built-in test features to verify the availability of any time source or protocol. It includes built-in Denial of Service (DoS) protection, and IP address access restriction capabilities for secure operation. It offers several levels and types of logging, with multiple log retention options. Includes built-in real-time log viewer to allow viewing of synchronization activity while its happening. It has built-in detection of active Dial-up Networking connections. Control Panel applet has extensive context sensitive help by pressing F1.

         

Domain Time II Windows Time Agent

	A special-purpose Windows Control Panel Applet included with Domain Time II Server and Client services, but also available as a stand-alone freeware utlity.
	Configure the Windows Time service without using obscure command-line commands or registry settings.
	Visual feedback to know at a glance if the Windows Time service is operating.
	Extensive information on the current variance of the system clock from a selected time source.
	View clock drift data to see how well synchronized the machine is over time.
	Keep extensive debug logs to help troubleshoot Windows Time problems.
	The Windows Time Agent can be audited by Domain Time II Audit Server and included in its out-of-sync alerts.
