Setup NTP on Windows 2003 DC

This is quite easy but I always end up looking at the web to find out how, so I just made this short note of it here.

Every Domain Controller in a Windows AD need to have a reliable timesource, and personally I like to use "ntp.uio.no", its proven stable over the years. So whenever I setup a new domain controller, I like to setup NTP on it to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Follow the link to this article to get the walkthrough for it.

Make sure your PDC emulator has this set as timesource, and if you dont want to set it up on the other DC's, make sure they use the main as internal source.
