    In most environments you probably don't want to use the built-in SNTP
    implementation.
    
    * It doesn't support auth.
    * It doesn't support broadcast/multicast client config.
    * It's not as precise as NTP.
    
    Use the NTP-implementation from ntp.org (it runs as a service). Disable the
    Windows Time Service.
