The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) protocol is an adaptation of Network Time Protocol (NTP), used to synchronize computer clocks on the Internet. Windows CE supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) technology.

Note   If the device clock is set to 2036 or later, the results will not be accurate. This is a protocol limitation in SNTP. For more information on SNTP see http://www.ietf/org/rfc/rfc2030.txt.
