I am writing a windows service which, among other things, needs to sync the
system clock on a periodic basis. Is there a super-simple easy as pie way to
do this? [The serive will run on XP]

Thanks for your assistance.
 
How about configuring the W32time service to do this on your behalf?

"net time /help"
 
XP has a built in NTP client already. Log on as administrator and
double-click on the clock. One of the tabs provides the configuration
options. Use this tab to set up your NTP server and then log off.

What I need to do is control the sync via my application. I was looking
around and I found the registry entry for the sync interval for the NTP
client.....so I guess I am just going to change that value to the value I
need.

Something related but out of topic. :)

If your version of Windows XP is anything other than English version, the
"time sync" option disappears. :O
