Ok how about some actual answers :) NTP versus SNTP
If you are running *nix time servers, NTP is a standard and works more consistently. http://blogs.technet.com/industry_insiders/pages/w32-tm-service.aspx -troy -----Original Message----- From: Free, Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 8:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Which is the better way Still begs the same question, why use net time on anything newer than a wintendo? W2K's w32time works just fine. It was the first time we actually had a decent native time service with registry based configuration and a management interface. That said, regardless of its quirks, even in the NT era the old timeserv was a quantum leap above net time when you didn't have AD's hierarchical structure and kerberos time requirements.
