The built-in Windows Time Service can do 16ms resolution, and does slew the system clock. If you're satisfied with that, and don't want to install anything else, you can just type this at a command prompt: w32tm /configure /manualpeerlist:"us.pool.ntp.org,0x1" / syncfromflags:MANUAL /update w32tm /resync /rediscover You can replace the us.pool.ntp.org with <mycountrycode>.pool.ntp.org as appropriate. The ",0x1" after the server name tells Windows Time Service to use adaptive polling interval lengths, similar to the "real" NTP. Monitoring the Windows Time Service is a challenge, though. All you get is a few event log entries at seemingly random intervals. The Meinberg NTP binaries for Windows should be used if you need any better accuracy or more advanced functionality. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
