Folks, Dave Hart asked that I post this information: Very briefly, I happen to have a 100Hz system, and have been playing with the improved version of ntpd.exe on a Windows 2000 system. Working with Dave, we found that it did have some issues, and it seems that these issues have probably been resolved by setting the sample interval to 26 milliseconds instead of the default 43 milliseconds. Although with a Windows XP or later system, you could do this by setting a System environment variable: Variable: NTPD_INT_INT String value: 26 You would do this by right clicking on my computer and pick properties. Use the Environment Variables button in the Advanced tab of the Computer Properties dialog, and be sure to add a System variable rather than a User variable. However, in a Windows 2000 system, it seems that the environment is not read again when your stop and restart a service, so Dave advised me to run ntpd.exe interactively, so I ended up with a command file like: ___________________________________ NET STOP NTP SET NTPD_INT_INT=26 CD <where-ntpd.exe lives> ntpd -n -g -c "c:\ntp\ntp.conf" -M ___________________________________ I hope that may help those of you testing this rather good new version.
