Please read the Installing Domain Time II overview pages before installing.
In most cases, you'll want to use Domain Time II Manager to install and configure Clients remotely from your
management workstation. If that's what you'd like to do, you can skip these installation instructions and read the
Manager documentation instead.
It's also possible to use an existing installation of Full Client install to another machine remotely using the command-line. This option is for advanced users.
See the Command-line Options page for details.
If you use cloned OS images to install machines, please read this article from our knowledgebase
about configuring Domain Time II properly on your clone image.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If you will be installing Domain Time II Client onto machines with AMD processors, we highly recommend you update your
processor drivers (a.k.a. PowerNow!) to the current version for your operating system available from AMD's website to avoid known hardware timing issues.
Please see this article from our knowledgebase for more info: KB2007.817.
- If you will be installing Domain Time II Client on a virtual machine guest OS, see this article from our
knowledgebase for more information on proper use with virtualization systems.
Installation/Upgrade
- To install or upgrade Domain Time II Full Client directly to a single machine from the distribution setup files:
- Run the Setup program from the CD to install the program. (If you are upgrading an existing Full Client, Setup will give you an upgrade option.
Your original configuration settings will be preserved during the upgrade).See this page
for details on using the Setup utlity.
- Start the Domain Time II Full Client applet from the icon in the Windows Control Panel to configure it.
(On Vista with UAC enabled, you must Shift+Right Click and choose Run As... from the context menu to launch the Control Panel applet.
On Windows Server Core, type in
domtimec.cpl on the command line)
- if there is a Domain Time II Server on the local subnet, use the Time Sources tab page to set Full Client to Automatic Settings.
- If you have a DHCP server on the local subnet set to provide time server addresses, check the Use DHCP to Locate Time Servers checkbox.
If there are no local DT Servers or DHCP servers, uncheck the Automatic Settings checkbox and fill in the Sources list with your desired time servers.
- Test your installation
- Click the Sync This Machine Now button on the Time Sources tab page.
- Click View Log button to see the Full Client activity log. You should see confirmation that the Full Client set its time correctly from
the time source you selected.
Removal
- Use Domain Time II Manager to remove the program remotely.
- Or use Add/Remove Programs utility from the Control Panel to remove the program.
- You may also use the original Setup program to remove the program. Run Setup as described above and choose the Remove option.
- The program can also be uninstalled from the command-line. See the Command-line Options page for details.
