To configure a NTP server, you can do it by proceeding to modify these register entries:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Config\AnnounceFlags= 1
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Parameters\NtpServer = time.windows.com (This will allow the NTP Server to synchronize with time.windows.com, if you don't need that you can let it empty)
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Parameters\Type = NTP (This is optional and should be enabled if you want your NTP server synchronize with another NTP server)
To configure a NTP client, you can do it by proceeding to modify these register entries:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Config\AnnounceFlags= 0
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Parameters\NtpServer = the IP address or the DNS name of your NTP server
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Parameters\Type = NTP
