Hello, [also posted in NT4.0 Server Forum]
we are trying to implement time synchronization between an IBM 9672 mainframe and NT (4.x & Win2K) servers in a LAN environment. Basically we want to set the time on the NT servers from the time on the mainframe. The mainframe uses an RFC868 implementation, and from what I understand w32time (NT) uses RFC1769. I get warning event 25 "It has been over 24 hours since we got a network success" on the NT4 server.
The W32time.ini looks like this:
[W32Time]
Type=NTP
Period=0
TAsync=no
NTPServer=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (internal LAN address of the 9672)
Log=yes
LocalNTP=yes
timesource=no
As I was researching the problem, I found this note in the MS Tools and Utilities - W23Time Network Time Service for Win NT4: "W32Time understands the alternative protocol (rfc868), but does not currently set the time from it." Do you know of a way to get this to work properly?
