NTP time synchronization on Win2K server

[fitzdr]

I have my Windows 2000 servers setup to get time from a NTP time source. The source is working and the Win2K servers are contacting the source and getting the correct time.

Given that everything works as it should, why is the time on the Windows servers always off by 2-5 minutes (slow). I have over 100 Netware servers and they all stay within microseconds of the correct time.

Im thinking, registry setting, something like:
how often time is checked
should the server use Hardware clock
how large are the time adjustments

Hi fitzdr,

you might want to look at that article where registry settings for the W32Time Service are described:
