ntp phoenix <phoenix[ at ]gmail.com> 10/26/2008 6:50:41 AM What are my options for setting an ntp time source across my environment. This consists of vista and xp. The time source is a Netware server listening on port 123. cheers,

Re: ntp "Richard G. Harper" <rgharper[ at ]email.com> 10/26/2008 10:09:48 AM Find an NTP server and load it on one of the PCs that will always be on. Alternatively, set all PCs to use the same external NTP server. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper[ at ]gmail.com * NEW!

Re: ntp "Richard G. Harper" <rgharper[ at ]email.com> 10/26/2008 8:46:48 PM If you are using Active Directory don't sweat it, the master DC (either the first DC or the one that you have designated as PDC emulator using the FSMO role tools) will handle the job for you. It may not use NTP depending on what your PDC is but if you or your domain admin has done the job right the PDC will sync with an outside source and your computers will sync from it.
