There are certain steps to configure NTP on Solaris, and it’s really easy and simple. Just follow the following steps
For Starting NTP on Solaris:
- Logon to the server using root.
- Now go to /etc/inet/
- Rename ntp.client to ntp.conf
- Now edit ntp.conf and replace multicastclient 224.0.1.1 with server ip-of-your-winntp-server

- Search for the NTP service using svcs -a | grep ntp
