    The information on this page refers to the Domain Time II Ultra Thin Client only. See the Full Client Registry Settings or the Thin Client Registry Settings pages for information on the registry entries for those products.

    The Domain Time II Ultra Thin Client does not have a control panel applet. Most settings can be changed remotely using Domain Time II Manager, but some can only be set by changing the registry. This section explains all of the registry entries used by Domain Time II Ultra Thin Client.

    Caution:
    Modifying Registry entries requires basic familiarity with the Windows Registry and its operations. Incorrect changes to the Registry can result in unpredictable, perhaps non-repairable, damage, up to and including a non-bootable system! Have a qualified technician make the changes for you if you are not comfortable with the process. We cannot be responsible for registry problems.

     
    Domain Time II Ultra Thin Client registry settings are located in:

    Allowed Broadcast Protocols
     
    REG_SZ
     
    Auto
     
    Auto, or NTP, or DT2
     
    Instructs the Ultra Thin Client what kind of broadcast protocols should be honored. If set to NTP, then only NTP broadcasts will cause a time sync. If set to DT2, then only Domain Time II heartbeat broadcasts will cause a time sync. If set to Auto, then the Ultra Thin Client will listen for both kinds of broadcast and automatically select whichever is present and more accurate.

    Allowed Broadcast Sources
     
    REG_MULTI_SZ
     
    blank
     
    Blank, or a list of IP addresses, one per line. If blank, the Ultra Thin Client will accept NTP or Domain Time II broadcast time from any source. If an IP address is given, then only broadcasts originating from that IP address will be honored. You may list more than one IP address (one per line) if you have more than one broadcast source on your network.

    REG_SZ
     
    Disabled
     
    Disabled, NoSync, or Enabled.
     
    When the client starts, it checks the Windows Time (W32Time) service and, if present, forces it to the selected state. In most circumstances, Disabled is correct for the Ultra Thin Client, Disabled is correct for Full Client listening for NTP broadcasts, and NoSync is appropriate for all other configurations.

    Respond to DTCheck
     
    REG_SZ
     
    True
     
    True or False
     
    Corresponds to the Respond to DTCheck option on the control panel applet or Domain Time II Manager. If enabled (True), the client will respond when Domain Time II Manager, Domain Time II Monitor Service, or the DTCheck utility attempts to survey machines or calculate network-wide variances. If disabled (False), the client will ignore DTCheck requests.

    REG_SZ
     
    True
     
    True or False
     
    If set to True, the service will show a brief "splash screen" when a user first logs onto the machine. If set to False, the splash screen will not appear. Note: This setting is ignored by evaluation copies of the service. An eval copy always shows the splash screen. The registered version may be set to show or not show the splash.

    Notes:
    Set Processor Affinity
     
    REG_DWORD
     
    0
     
    00-FF (hex)
     
    If not present or set to zero, Domain Time will not attempt to restrict time-sensitive operations to any particular processor in a multi-processor system. In some systems, the majority of hardware interrupt handling occurs on only one processor (typically processor 0), so it may provide increased accuracy if Domain Time uses only other processors during time-sensitive operations. This value is a hex bitmap representing the processors in the system, with bit 0 representing the first processor, bit 1 representing the second processor, and so forth.
    Value Name:
     
    Value Type:
     
    Default Data:
     
    Range:
     
    Notes:
    Set Timer Resolution
     
    REG_DWORD
     
    0
     
    0-16
     
    If not present or set to zero, Domain Time will use the system-default best-available timer resolution. If set to any other value, Domain Time will use timeBeginPeriod(x) and timeEndPeriod(x) before and after any time-sensitive calculation. In general, this value should either be zero or 1.
    Value Name:
     
    Value Type:
     
    Default Data:
     
    Options:
     
    Notes:
    Windows Time Agent Startup Check [version]
     
    REG_SZ
     
    True
     
    True or False
     
    This value is created the first time a new or upgraded version runs. If not present or set to False, Domain Time will check the domtime.ini file for instructions about overriding the handling of the Windows Time Agent Control Panel applet. If set to True Domain Time will use the current settings. You may set this value to False to force a one-time re-read of the domtime.ini at next startup.
    Value Name:
     
    Value Type:
     
    Default Data:
     
    Options:
     
    Notes:
    Force Windows Time State
     
    REG_SZ
     
    varies
     
    May be blank, Not Touched, Disabled, NoSync, NTP, NT5DS, or AllSync
     
    Controls how Domain Time interacts with Windows Time when the Domain Time service starts.

    If set to Disabled, Domain Time will make sure the Windows Time service is disabled and not running.

    If blank or set to Not Touched, Domain Time will not check or change the operation of the Windows Time service.

    If set to any other value, Domain Time will make sure the Windows Time service is enabled and running, and that its sync type is set to the specified value.

    Value Name:
     
    Value Type:
     
    Default Data:
     
    Options:
     
    Notes:
    Force Windows Time Agent Disable
     
    REG_SZ
     
    Not present or False
     
    True or False
     
    If not present or False, the Windows Time Agent portion of the Windows Time Agent Control Panel applet will use the default or control-panel set options to determine if Agent should be running. If set to True, Domain Time will ensure that the Agent portion of Windows Time Agent Control Panel applet is not running.
    Value Name:
     
    Value Type:
     
    Default Data:
     
    Notes:
    Clock Adjustment Locked Rate
     
    REG_DWORD
     
    0
     
    If zero or not present, overall system slewing will analyze the clock drift and adjust the clock rate to minimize future corrections. If set to any other value between 80% and 120% of the default clock rate, overall system slewing will set the clock rate to the given value and not analyze the clock drift further. Values below the minimum or in excess of the maximum will be ignored. Useful chiefly if the clock rate (also called Phase Adjustment) regularly changes within a small range and you want to select the best rate manually.
    Value Name:
     
    Value Type:
     
    Default Data:
     
    Range:
     
    Notes:
    Clock Change Sensitivity
     
    REG_DWORD
     
    0
     
    0-255
     
    If not present or set to zero, Domain Time will use a value of 2 on NT-class systems, and a value of 10 on Win9x systems. This value represents the number of seconds the system clock must differ from the expected value in order for Clock Change Monitor to decide an unauthorized change has been made to the system clock.
