Hi,
I just installed ntp (Meinberg, once on Win7, once on a vps 2008 R2).
On my Win 7 I see in C:\Program Files (x86)\NTP\etc the drift file
but on the vps there is no drift-file?
If you had followed my setup guide you would not have installed in
C:\Program Files\ where NTP may not have permission to write a drift file.

Perhaps the vps implements accounts and permissions differently?
Setting that directory to have full control for the ntp user should be
trivial though.
That's what I've done on all my Win7Pro(64) and server 2008 (x86 and
64bit) versions, with complete success.
Now I even installed ntp in C:\Users\ntp\Documents\NTP\.
It was started after/by the installation but in the etc-folder
there is only the ntp.conf no ntp.drift and no other file which I do not
remember correctly s.th. like ntp.rnd?
Is there a log-flag?
Save below as ntp.reg with <cr><lf> line endings in a bin directory in your
path, ensure ImagePath entry is a single line, edit to taste; mkdir C:\ProgramData\NTP\etc
and grant full control to ntp user; download and run Meinberg NTP installer and tell it to
put files in C:/ProgramData/NTP/etc; then run your edited reg file as admin, or drop into
RegEdit, to update the NTP service entry.
Download and install the Meinberg NTP Monitor to check operation easily.
Add ;%ProgramFiles(x86)%\NTP\bin; into your System environment variable Path
for convenience in running command line utilities like ntpq, and you can define
a System environment variable RANDFILE as C:/ProgramData/NTP/etc/.rnd.
You can control or tweak any NTP service settings (except the command line, as
it is too long to display or update except via RegEdit) using Services Control
Panel, Meinberg NTP Monitor, or sc service control utility. The conf file must
be in the ImagePath entry last for the Meinberg NTP Monitor to find it and
stats files, so my path options are in descending order.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis
