We have no plans to deprecate ntptrace that I am aware of. It uses mode 6 packets > (ntpq) but w32time doesn't support them. If w32time supported them one > could use ntpq directly. (ntptrace is a script that uses ntpq. I think > it only exists in Unix script form.) It's actually a perl script. There is a C version. The script SHOULD be using mode 3/4 packets for it's work. I might fix that at some point or resurrect the C version which does use the mode 3/4 packets. > > If you want a single command to check, you will have to write a script, > but you should also be able to write one to poll and scan the event > logs remotely. > > (ntpdc monlist may give some indication, but I don't think it tells you > if the client successfully synchronised.) I found that Meinberg's NTP monitoring tool to be useful in these areas though you would have to run it on Windows since it's a Windows GUI!
