I'm setting up PC1 (W2K) as an NTP server for 1 local machine PC2 which does not have internet access.
NTP software from http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm installed and working on PC1 w32time service is stopped and disabled. PC1 ntp.conf: driftfile "C:\Program Files\NTP\etc\ntp.drift" logfile "C:\Program Files\NTP\etc\ntp.log" fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 server msltime.irl.cri.nz Whenever I stop and start the NTP service on PC1, I have to wait 5 minutes before PC1 will report the following in the log and start acting as an NTP server. PC1 ntp.log: 1 Nov 12:00:00 ntpd.exe[1792]: The Network Time Protocol Service has stopped. 1 Nov 12:04:14 ntpd.exe[164]: synchronized to 131.203.16.6, stratum 1 Question: After I start the NTP service, is there a way to give NTP a kick to that it synchronises with the internet NTP server immediately, so I don't have to wait for 5 minutes? ie a "Sync Now" command using something like NTPQ.
