I have five computers here on my LAN. They each synchronize the time with 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org once an hour. This is a waste of ntp.org's resources.

I would like one of the computers on my LAN to be the authoritative time server for my workgroup and let the other computers get the time from the computer that's the time server for my workgroup.

I have spent the last three hours trying to figure out how to make the machine with Windows Server 2003 the authoritative time server that the other computers get the time from.

Since I'm posting here I obviously had no luck getting it to work.

Can someone please point me to a better resource than Windows TechNet [technet2.microsoft.com] to help me get this setup properly.

If I can get this setup properly I'll join NTP Pool Project instead of just using it so I'm not a leach.

TIA.
