I absolutely cannot get NTP updates to work for Vista Ultimate. I've got a
public IP address (no PAT), and I'm not behind a firewall; I've tried
completely disabling the Windows firewall to no avail as well.
Unregistering and re-registering the w32tm service does not help. Here's the
batch file that I created which does nothing:
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]
w32tm /unregister [enter a second time]
w32tm /register
reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters\ /v
NtpServer /t reg_sz /d time.nist.gov /f
net start w32time
Here are all the NTP server that I've tried:
time.windows.com does not update
time.nist.gov does not update
tick.usno.navy.mil does not update
time-nw.nist.gov does not update
time-a.nist.gov does not update
time-b.nist.gov does not update
I've read about other folks out there having problems with Windows NTP, but
none of the workarounds (not fixes, as there doesn't appear to have been one
released by Microsoft to fix the real problem...whatever it is) has worked
for me.
There's no way I'm going to pay 60 bucks to talk to someone at Microsoft
about a problem that seems to be affecting large numbers of users in the
community, so any help that someone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully I can find someone out there who has figured out a way to work
around this problem.
Thanks,
David
