Hello, I request your help in case somebody knows or has experienced a problem like this: At the company where i work we have just implemented a NTP server, we have a large amount of ntp clients (windows XP most of them). We are thinking of an automated way to sinchronize them, we have been working on DHCP options to try to send the NTP server address as well as the correct time zone (UTC-6 & UTC-7). We have tested on linux clients and they take the NTP server address but not time zome; windows clients seem to ignore any NTP settings.
This are the options we have implemented to send NTP server settings and timezone: option pcode code 100 = text; option tcode code 101 = text; option ntp-servers 10.0.78.61; option pcode "CST6CDT"; option tcode "America/Mexico_City"; option time-offset -21600; When trying to set the NTP server address on a windows client though command line it seems the system recognizes the command but it does not keep the settings. net stop w32time net time /setsntp:10.0.78.61 net start w32time net time /querysntp I appreciate any advice you may have Best Regards, Alma R. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
