NetTime is a lightweight Network Time Protocol utility developed by Mark Griffiths that keeps Windows workstations and servers accurately synchronized with Internet or local time references. Designed as an SNTP client, the program quietly polls one or more configured time servers at user-defined intervals—ranging from every few minutes to once a day—and adjusts the system clock whenever it drifts beyond a specified tolerance, eliminating the cumulative seconds of error that can disrupt log timestamps, scheduled tasks, cryptographic operations, and distributed applications. Because it implements the standard Simple Network Time Protocol, NetTime interoperates with public NTP pools, enterprise Stratum-1 appliances, GPS-based time sources, or any Windows domain controller offering time service, making it equally suitable for home users who simply want correct desktop clocks and for IT administrators who need consistent time across fleets of legacy or current Windows machines. The single-version release 3.14 remains compatible with every 32- and 64-bit edition of Windows from 95 through Windows 10, as well as Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, and 2016, providing a uniform solution in mixed OS environments. Its unobtrusive GUI allows quick setup of redundant server lists, offset thresholds, retry logic, and logging options, while a portable executable can be deployed without installation for ad-hoc synchronization tasks. NetTime is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
