NTP warning

[Guest Canuck geoff]

Hi:

 

I have a series of Win2000 servers that were formerly connecting for NTP to

my client's site via a backend connection. A security finding meant they had

to be redirected internally to our UNIX server as an NTP source. The

machines are all stand alone machines, and they are regularly giving the

warning below. When I try a manual update using w32tm -once everthing

appears to work just fine as shown.

 

The documentation (and even the options) seem to be conflicting, and from

what I read net time is deprecated. Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

Event Type: Warning

What is it about the Event that you don't understand?

Re: NTP warning

 

What i don't understand is why I am getting NTP server not responding.

While i can apparently talk to the NTP server by manually launching an

update I am getting daily failures when it tries automatically. The size of

the offset convinces me that the automatic updates are not working (note that

I have drifted by 37 s over the last month since I made the change from a

different NTP server.
