Hi, I've managed to get Linux through the door at a client's site <whoop, applause> However, it is necessary to time sync desktop client's to a Windows server. (This is a strict requirement for reasons that I won't go into. Yes, I know how trivial it would be with a Linux server, etc.)
Windows has a "service" called Windows Time, but I haven't managed to sync to it from the Linux boxes. Is it possible? In an attempt to approach this in a sane manner, I installed NetTIme on a Windows box for testing. This worked, up to a point - the Linux boxes could sync to it - but it has a huge flaw in that it refuses to act as a time server when it can't access the sources it syncs from - who designs this stuff? Since the server s not always connected to the net, this means that the clients lose sync, which is not acceptable in this case. Basically, all I need is a time service on Windows that will sync when sources are available, but continue to allow clients to sync to it when they are not. Any ideas or suggestions? -- Best, Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
