Time synchronization is an important aspect for all computers on the network. By default, the clients computers get their time from a Domain Controller and the Domain Controller gets his time from the domain’s PDC Operation Master. Therefore the PDC must synchronize his time from an external source. I the servers from the NTP Pool Project website. Before you begin, don’t forget to open the default UDP 123 port (in- and outbound) on your firewall.

1. First, locate your PDC Server. Open the command prompt and type: C:\>netdom /query fsmo
2. Log in to your PDC Server and open the command prompt.
3. Stop the W32Time service: C:\>net stop w32time
4. Configure the external time sources, type: C:\> w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist: “0.vmware.pool.ntp.org
5. , 1.vmware.pool.ntp.org,2.vmware.pool.ntp.org”
6. Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. Type: C:\>w32tm /config /reliable:yes
7. Start the w32time service: C:\>net start w32time
8. The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. You can check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: C:\>w32tm /query /configuration
9. Check the Event Viewer for any errors.

The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is an agentless toolkit that finds computers on a network and performs a detailed inventory of the computers using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and the Remote Registry Service. The data and analysis provided by this toolkit can significantly simplify the planning process for migrating to Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V, Microsoft Application Virtualization, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Forefront® Client Security and Network Access Protection. Assessments for Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Vista include device driver availability as well as recommendations for hardware upgrades.

You can use MAP to inventory the following platforms:

• Windows 7
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP® Professional
• Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2
• Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server
• VMware ESX
• VMware ESXi
• VMware Server

Reporting
- Identification of currently installed Windows client operating systems, their hardware, and recommendations for migration to Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The tool also reports if desktops have anti-virus and anti-malware programs installed and if the Windows Firewall is turned on.
- Identification of currently installed Windows Server operating systems, their hardware, and recommendations for migration to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008.
- Identification of currently installed Microsoft Office software and recommendations for migration to Microsoft Office 2007.
- Detailed assessment and reporting of server utilization gathered using the Performance Metrics Wizard.
- Recommendations for server consolidation and virtual machine placement using Hyper-V
- Assessment of client machines, servers, and the technology environment for the implementation of Microsoft Application Virtualization (APP-V)
- Identification of machines where Microsoft SQL Server components are installed.
- Identification of virtual machines, their hosts, and details about each.
- Identification of Windows Server Roles

Hardware Requirements:
