Windows 2000 time clients are the worst, XP is better and Server 2003 best of all. Vista and Windows 2008 are based on the 2003 code. My workplace is a public access TV station and our biggest challenge is getting consistent time without being able to pay for nice things like IRIG displays or GPS clocks. It doesn't help that our master controller is Windows 2000 based with a flaky CMOS clock that was caused by renovations in the room it was installed in. Symmetricom has a app for Windows networks, LMCheck, that can check for variance. http://dtdocs.ntp-systems.com/software/domaintime/instructions/tools/lmcheck.asp _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
