Hi everybody!
I'm trying to configure the ntp client (w32time) of a computer that runs XP to
synchronize with a ntp server running on a linux server.
Does anybody know where I can set the stratum of the XP computer?
You CAN'T set the stratum!
(I get the following error when I try to synchronize: "The time sample was rejected
because: The peer's stratum is less than the host's stratum".
I found two entries in the windows registry (AnnounceFlags and InputProvider)
that could help but I can't find the solution.
Need help! :)
Thanks in advance.
YOU are NOT SUPPOSED to set the stratum! If your server is getting time
from a stratum 1 server, your server is Stratum 2. Any system that gets
time from your server is at Stratum 3 and so on!
A Stratum one server is getting its time directly from an atomic clock.
Stratum is NOT a measure of accuracy! It's simply the number of "middle
men" between you and the atomic clock.
