Questions and Answers

What is the recommended time source for network services in order to minimize drifts?

  • Different time sources for remote clients and network servers
  • Internal time from the client PCs
  • Battery-powered real time clock (RTC) chip
  • GPS-synchronized time sources or a pool of Internet time sources (correct)

Why is relying solely on the internal time of client PCs not recommended for time synchronization?

  • It ensures close synchronization with the server time
  • It is a reliable authoritative time source
  • It is tolerant of 30 or 60 second discrepancies
  • It can lead to servers and clients drifting out of sync, especially for remote clients (correct)

What can happen if some clients are set to use different time sources than the network servers?

  • Faster backup processes
  • Enhanced security for authentication processes
  • Improved synchronization between servers and clients
  • Servers and clients can drift out of sync (correct)
