    It is not possible to disable NTP from command line , either the users have to open SEP client every time and from the GUI they can disable it .

    Not possible from DOS commands too the feature is not supported as it is a security product.

    Here's the command to disable NTP:

    smc -disable -ntp

    and to reenable

    smc -enable -ntp

    If the SEP client UI is password protected:

    smc -disable -ntp -p <password>

    Not sure if a public webpage exist for the commands, but on SEPM's Help can you search for "Running Windwos commands for the client service" and that help page will give you a list of possible SMC commands.

    Hope this helps.
