Hi, i have configured an authoritive ntp server. I am required to sync the time with an external server. How can i go about doing this?. &nbsp;This are the steps which i have done.<br />
<br />
- Windows 2003 server - NTP server - authoritive server used microsoft fix it tool to configure the NTP.<br />
- In registry for the NTP server i pointed over to the external server as NTP server.<br />
- I did a w32tm /resync &nbsp;- it is able to sync<br />
<br />
How can i verify if the NTP is really syncing with the external time server? &nbsp;How can i also verify the windows 2003 internal NTP server is the main time source for the rest of its member servers and workstations?
