Title: A quick(?) NTP question

I remember from an AD trouble-shooting course many years ago that it simply checks first one in the list and moves down on fail. I’m sorry but don’t have any supporting documentation to confirm.   Rob     Robert Rutherford QuoStar Solutions Limited   The Enterprise Pavilion Fern Barrow Wallisdown Poole Dorset BH12 5HH     T: +44 (0) 8456 440 331 F: +44 (0) 8456 440 332 M: +44 (0) 7974 249 494 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: www.quostar.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 June 2006 11:05 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] A quick(?) NTP question   Here's a simple one for anyone who understands the internals of NTP: Scenario: PDCe in root domain is configured to use 2 NTP servers Question: Will the PDCe always sync with the same NTP server unless it's not available and then sync with the other NTP server? Or Will the PDCe talk to both NTP servers and adjust its clock according to the various NTP algorithms used to determine which NTP server is 'more accurate'? If the latter, does anyone have a doc which explains that algorithm?
