The network time protocol (NTP) is used on networks to sync the Windows client machine clocks to a server's clock. This keeps every client computer on your network synchronized with the same network time. It's beneficial for network administrators who oversee time applications such as employee time cards and scheduling software. You can use the Windows command prompt to set the NTP settings for a client machine on your network.
