Back to Top Do I have to run UNIX computers to use NTP? No. NTP client software is needed on machines wishing to synchronize to the time server. Symmetricom offers SymmTime, a very popular freeware NTP time client for Windows. Symmetricom also offers Domain Time II software for time client synchronization, monitoring and management.
