WIndows XP comes preconfigured to sync with the Microsoft time servers, so I'm not sure why you want to change anything.
If you want to check how close it is, you've got your syntax messed up. You need this w32tm /monitor /computers:time.windows.com But that only shows you the difference between your clock. To force it to actually change your clock, do w32tm /resync /rediscover Obviously your time zone has to be set correctly, and the computer clock needs to be within 1000 seconds of the "real" time to begin with or Windows won't set it. And the Windows time service must be running and set to "automatic" startup. Also, Windows doesn't just set the time, it "slews" your clock so it runs faster or slower until it matches the real time. So you might not see the effects right away. Finally, the windows time service in XP will only keep your clock to within about 1 second of the real time. If you need better time than that, you need to install the "real" NTP on Windows XP. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
