For a multi-server CLM system it is important that the reference clock used by each server is accurate and consistent. One way to do this is to configure the system to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) as a reference for each server. To configure IBM Quick Deployer so that the applications that it installs use an NTP system clock, edit the *Prepare System* step of the  *Install Applications* process. 

If the NTP system clock is disabled, you can be enable it after the CLM applications have been installed. For details, see [[IBMQuickDeployerConfiguringTheNTPSystemClock][Configuring the NTP system clock]].

---++ Configuring default NTP clock values

   1. Login to the target UCD server as an administrator.
   1. Click Applications, then select the Quick Deployer application.

   1. On the process *Design* tab open the *Prepare System* step by clicking on the pencil icon.
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/AS_11.png" alt="open prepare"><br/><br/>
   1. Select *True* in the *EnableNTPclock* field. Note: If you leave the value of the field cleared, Quick Deployer prompts you to enter a value of True or False in the Run Process dialog when you select the *Install Applications* process. 
   1. Enter the name of the NTP system clock server in the *NTPclock* field. 
   <br/><br/><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/ntp-clock-setv20.png" alt="open prepare"><br/><br/>
   1. Click *OK* to close the *Edit Properties* window.
   1. Click the *Save* process icon to save your changes.

---++ Results

When you run the *Install Applications* process, the Quick Deployer sets the NTP server address property in the CLM applications to the value that you specify in the *NTPclock* field.
