Hi all, I have one FreeBSD NTP server which syncs all my server clocks. Gettin= g the NTP server running was a piece of cake following the instructions in = the online handbook. Recently I was asked to sync a bunch of windows machi= nes (10 of them) to my NTP server. Now I'm not a windows person, so I ask= ed one of the windows people to figure out his side since my side was up an= d running. He wrote this little .bat file to run on the windows boxes to = be sync'd. Its pretty straight forward....just save it as a .bat file (ti= me.bat) and run it from your XP box. Make sure to enter your NTP IP addre= ss where the x's are below. It seems to work fine for us. Your mileag= e may vary. There may be better/easier ways of doing this, but this is wha= t works ok for us.... =20 Here's the .bat file....use it at your own risk.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------------------------ @echo Updating Time Service.... @echo. @echo. @echo off w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,0x8 /syncfromflags:manual w32tm /config /update @echo Restarting Time Service=20 @echo. @echo. net stop w32time net start w32time pause cls @echo Verify your Time Server's IP Address and SNTP Flag of "0x8" @echo. net time /querysntp @echo. @echo Exiting configuration=20 pause ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------------------------- -- Joe _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
