Can you try to run ntpdate -q <IP of remote server> on the machine and check if that works? If not, try ntpdate -qu <IP> to use an unprivileged port. You would need to stop the NTP service on that machine first (net stop ntp). > Although the NTP service starts OK, I'm wonder if it needs some special > right to connect to the network as a service - although I would have > thought that the Meinberg installer would have granted whatever > privileges were required.

The installer grants the user the required privileges. You can always try and install the NTP service using the SYSTEM account which has full rights. It could be helpful to see the output of "ntpq -p" and "ntpq -c rv <id>" where <id> is the association ID of one of the remote servers. This id can be found out using "ntpq -c as" .. and yes, the event log would be helpful as well.
