Nine Complex Steps to Set the NTP Time Server. An Alternative?
I'm trying to fire up XP as an NTP time server, and I came across nine somewhat
manually complex steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054#EXTERNAL. There's fairly heavy use of registry editing and a win32tm command is used at the end. I also came across the following, which discusses the win32tm commands. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/Default.asp?url=/Resources/Documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/techref/en-us/w2k3tr_times_tools.asp. At the moment it baffles me why instead of the 9 complex steps couldn't the set of win32tm cmds couldn't be used to completely set up Win XP as a time server. It's the first time I've ever seen them. It seems as though MS could provide some sort of program to do the necessary configuration in those nine steps. I would think this is a fairly common need. Perhaps there is such a program or mechanism (other than manually entering the nine steps)? -- Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
