Previously, there was an Internet Time tab on the Date and Time applet of the Control Panel, wherein one could force a query of an internet time server and also type in a different server from the ones supplied. However, this tab has now disappeared, and I need to have it back. I should mention that this machine has never been part of a domain, since it seems that machines that are such do not have such a tab. I should be obliged to anyone who can help me restore the missing tab.

I have a dumb question: what happens if you click on the "Change date and time" button on the dialogue box? – Randolph West Feb 27 '11 at 23:29
You get a dialogue box called Date and Time Settings, whcih allows one to change, manually, the date and time, but nothing that allows one to configure the Windows service that automatically queries internet time servers or to force a query. That was accessed by a tab on the main Date and Time dialogue box, now gone missing. – Robert Thornton Mar 1 '11 at 2:18
Are you still experiencing this issue? – Tom Wijsman Apr 21 at 13:54

The internet time tab is disabled for domain environments. The computer will sync with the domain controller and there isn't a way to have it sync to the internet in domains.
