As far as I've ever been able to find, Windows only lets you configure one NTP server to sync time from. How are you configuring Vista’s NTP client to point to more than one time server?

But when the primary time server is down, this vista w/s doesn't sync from the secondary time server. Then when i manual sync from the clock , I got error message that ( primary server is down )How should I resolve it ? Hi Dossy,

It was a lot of work going around to each one and forcing the update. Thanks for awesome little trick that makes my life easier!! bd Dossy,

Thanks for letting us all know what your solution was - hopefully it can help someone else, as well. Philip: Glad you could get it sorted out!

I am running Windows XP and for some reason automatic updates are not running (the bane of my life). Anyway I used a utility called TZEdit to edit the daylight savings start and end dates manually. Then I had to tick the "automatically apply daylight savings" box off, hit apply, then tick it on again and apply. And voila the time adjust correctly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol" rel="nofollow">Network Time Protocol</a> (NTP) distributes time in UTC/GMT. It is up to the operating system running on the NTP clients (i.e., your computer) to know what timezone it is in, and compute the local time accordingly. What OS are you running? Presumably there should be a patch or update to your OS that should correct the change for DST in your time zone.

Any suggestions for how to get around this? Daylight savings time here now starts on the last weekend of September (previously the second weekend of October). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

It has been extremely bothersome with the clock drifting and Windows NTP not polling often. Micrsoft should really make these parameters tunable via the control panel. Thank you for this blog entry!
