S8500 Time drift

[busster]

Time on S8500 keeps drifting. Network is closed and S8500 does not have access to a NTP time server or the internet for that matter. I do have a single XP Pro PC on the same network. Is there NTP software which can be added to this machine to make it an NTP service to which the S8500 can sync?

If you're comfortable playing with registry hives, you can try this site:

Tried a this already, but per the S8500 Network Time Sync, it does not reach a NTP server. Have the ip address of the pc which has been modified as the NTP server.

Keep in mind that your network could be blocking the communication to the NTP server you setup. Especially if its on the other side of a firewall.

This is a known bug on the Avaya end,
please refer to PSN1008U:

http://support.avaya.com/elmodocs2/PSN/PSN1008u.pdf,

and

If applicable for the release you have.
From experience I can tell you that, for some odd reason it does not seem to like the microsoft implementation of NTP in a lot of cases.

busster,

Did you ever get this sorted out? We are having a similar issue for no apparent reason.

Thanks

Nick

No, still an issue. The files and directories mentioned in the PSN do not exist.
