If the workstations are using Windows Networking for their time (which they should not be in a modern Windows domain configuration) the support for that pre-dates w32time by a long way. Modern workstations on modern Windows networks use their own copy of w32time, on port 123.
w32time's main reason for existence is not establishing a correct absolute time, but for ensuring that times are close enough for Microsoft's derivative of Kerberos works. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
