SYNC TIME in Solaris 10 Server with Local Windows(Active Directory) NTP Server

There are certain steps to configure NTP on Solaris, and it’s really easy and simple. Just follow the following steps

For Starting NTP on Solaris:

    Logon to the server using root.
    Now go to /etc/inet/
    Rename ntp.client to ntp.conf
    Now edit ntp.conf and replace multicastclient 224.0.1.1 with server ip-of-your-winntp-server

 

# ident "@(#)ntp.client 1.3 00/07/17 SMI"
#
# /etc/inet/ntp.client
#
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/inet/ntp.conf; it
# provides a configuration for a host that passively waits for a server
# to provide NTP packets on the ntp multicast net.
#
 
server ip-of-your-winntp-server
#multicastclient 224.0.1.1

 

root@SVR # svcs -a | grep ntp
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/ntp:default

    Start NTP Server if Disabled using svcadm enable svc:/network/ntp:default and check the service status again.

   

root@SVR # svcs -a | grep ntp
online 14:25:19 svc:/network/ntp:default

    Now check NTP status using ntpq -p

 

   

root@SVR # ntpq -p
