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_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersType Value Name to a data value of NoSync:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParameters]
"Type"="NoSync"
