If not present or set to zero, Domain Time will use a value of 2 seconds.

The older registry entry controlling this function, Max Slew Correction (seconds), has been deprecated.

CAUTION: Enable this option with care. Use of this option may prevent Domain Time from successfully being able to synchronize with a time source if the time correction is too large to accomplish using slewing. See the Max Slew Correction (milliseconds) registry setting for more info.

---

IMPORTANT: Unlike with versions prior to v5.1, the behavior of this setting is NOT modified by the Override Max Disparity registry setting. If Never Step Clock is enabled, the clock will never be stepped, regardless of any other settings.

As of v5.1,, Domain Time uses the Allow Stepping setting (see above) to provide greater control of the stepping process. If your machine running an older version of Domain Time had Never Step Clock specified in the registry, the value will be translated to an Allow Stepping value of zero when upgrading to v5.x or later. See the Stepping Options dialog of the Clock Control property page to set the options.

In most cases, it is better to set the Stepping Options with the behavior you want than to enable Never Step Clock.

---

Domain Time will assign a default Stratum depending on the type of Server Role selected:

• Master Server: Stratum 2
• Slave Server: Stratum 3
• Independent Server: Stratum 2

---

IMPORTANT: As of v5.1, none of these settings modify the Never Step Clock setting (see above). Note that this is a change in behavior from older versions. Enabling Never Step Clock effectively limits corrections to the Maximum Slew Correction (milliseconds) value, even if a larger correction would otherwise be permitted by Override Max Disparity.

---

• 0 or not present (Auto)
  Domain Time will override the disparity settings during startup, on Clock Change Monitor event detection, receiving sync triggers/cascades from management components, or from Control Panel applet (CPL) signals.

• 1 (Always)
  Domain Time will always override the disparity settings. This is the same as not having disparity settings at all. Always honors Never Step Clock setting.

• 2 (Never)
  Domain Time will never override the disparity settings. Always honors Never Step Clock. This option may prevent your machine from syncing until you manually set the time to within the set Min/Max disparity range. If the machine is a Domain Time Server, it will normally refuse to serve the time until its own time has been set, so selecting a value of 2 may impact your entire network.

• 3 (Startup only)
  Domain Time will override the disparity settings only until the first time after startup that it has set its own time correctly. Thereafter, it behaves as if you had set the option to 2.

• 4 (Limit CCM)
  Clock Change Monitor signals do not override the disparity settings. Startup, management, or CPL signals will override the disparity settings.

To prevent accepting obviously-wild time corrections, Domain Time will (by default) refuse to set the time outside of a defined range of acceptable correction. Backwards-correction is limited to the build date of the software - 1 year. Forward-correction is limited to 11:59:59 on 12/31/2036 due to NTP and UNIX Year 2038 date calculation issues.

However, Windows itself will allow setting the local clock outside of this sanity-checked range. Set this value to True to permit Domain Time to set the clock to any time/date the operating system will allow.

Note: Because this value is highly machine-specific, it is not included in template imports or exports. You must set it individually on each machine.
