It is, but it is not simple to configure. Look in the list archives for examples of conifguring the windows time service for use on public NTP networks. Included there are links to Microsoft's detailed documentation on the Windows Time Service. What are your requirements? Just to keep better time? Why once every 1/2 hour? Generally, you'll want to use a configuration command like this: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.us.pool.ntp.org,0x8 1.us.pool.ntp.org,0x8 2.us.pool.ntp.org,0x8" /syncfromflags:MANUAL /update That ",0x8" after each server tells Windows Time Service to choose the best synchronization interval itself, based on the performance of your clock and/orn network connection. Also, please note that the windows time service only makes event log entries when a new time srouce is selected, plus an informational entry once every X hours. It will not make a log entry for "small corrections", even if they are more frequent. This logging behavior can also be changed with registry entries or group policies (see Microsoft documentation)., _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
