Hi all, I have one FreeBSD NTP server which syncs all my server clocks. Getting the NTP server running was a piece of cake following the instructions in the online handbook. Recently I was asked to sync a bunch of windows machines (10 of them) to my NTP server. Now I'm not a windows person, so I asked one of the windows people to figure out his side since my side was up and running. He wrote this little .bat file to run on the windows boxes to be sync'd. Its pretty straight forward....just save it as a .bat file (time.bat) and run it from your XP box. Make sure to enter your NTP IP address where the x's are below. It seems to work fine for us. Your mileage may vary. There may be better/easier ways of doing this, but this is what works ok for us....
Here's the .bat file....use it at your own risk.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @echo Updating Time Service.... @echo. @echo. @echo off w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,0x8 /syncfromflags:manual w32tm /config /update @echo Restarting Time Service @echo. @echo. net stop w32time net start w32time pause cls @echo Verify your Time Server's IP Address and SNTP Flag of "0x8" @echo. net time /querysntp @echo. @echo Exiting configuration pause ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Joe _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
