Hi,
   I've noticed in our Active Directory environment default settings on
Windows XP and Server 2003 computers for "net time /querysntp" to be one
of two values:

net time /querysntp
The current SNTP value is: time.windows.com,0x1

net time /querysntp
This computer is not currently configured to use a specific SNTP server.

The value does not seem to correspond to new vs. upgraded systems.

Our PDC emulator role holder, as recommended, is set to an outside time
source.

Does the value "time.windows.com,0x1" have some special significance
like "obtain your time through normal AD channels, but just in case
there is a problem, go to time.windows.com"?

There are no time problems in my environment that I am aware of.  Thanks
for any enlightenment!
