Hi Danny,
I feel i am close to the resolution. Thanks much for your time !
Let me answer your question "Why I need slewalways?"
Well, customer is asking for slew mode operation and also slew mode is good
for system which runs database I learnt. So when XNTP has option of slewing
the clock, "why not test it?" out per customer.
I know W32Time slew works well. But I prefer XNTP also XNTP has many merits
too.
As you said, my last option is to download 4.2.2 and check it out with ntpd
-x -g -q option instead of ntpdate.
But I have tough time in finding Windows binaries for XNTP 4.2.2
Let me dig on internet for somemore time.
Appreciate if anyone could help me on Windows binary for XNTP 4.2.2
Thanks,
Sasi.

This shows the version of ntpdc and not ntpd.

ntpdate != ntpd so this means nothing

You need to be running 4.2.2 at least for this to work.

Right, but you need the right version of ntpd first.

No, you cannot. Upgrade to 4.2.2 and then add the options to the service
command line.
You haven't said why slewalways is a requirement for you. Can you explain?
