All 250 servers ( W2k/Linux and AIX) the Cisco , Nortel routers are also synchronised once or twice a day to the SNTP server . Our 400 printers were also synchronised , but we just changed the brand , and i do not know it it is still the case . The SNTP adress is a Dynamic VIPA vith a Vipabackup on the second CPU of the sysplex ( in order to keep answering to AD request during an IPL for example) This is quite good for debugging as logs are coherent . In clear the time is perhaps wrong , but it is the same for everyone !
