I think I can configure the NTP server on the windows clients using DHCP. I would be ok with that. But when I use the Internet Time tab, it always gives the message "An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with [ntp server]" even when I use a known-good NTP server (external to my network, and works fine for my linux hosts). But, that is a Windows error and has nothing to do with Samba, so I will take that issue up in a more appropriate place. thanks, -wes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
