Let me rephrase that: "Then your requirement precludes the use of NTP on the client systems unless you install NTP on the Windows server." > Install NTP on the Windows server, configure the local clock (at > stratum 10, please), done. Right. Except for the fact that the OP seems to be determined to use w32time. > No, it won't make the real time magically appear on that server. There's more to it than that. Without a proper "time base" how is NTP supposed to ensure that one second is acceptably close (i.e. +/- a handful of ms) to one second? -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
