Hello,.
I'm trying to setup my member servers to time sync with
the local SNTP server (domain controller) but I'm trying
to do this synching every 15mins (ie. 96 syncs a day).

I have deleted the Period Reg_Sz key (value= SpecialSkew)
and I have replaced it with a Period Dword value of 96.
After reboot I have noticed that the time syncs initially
after 30mins and then keeps doubling up.
Is there anyway I can just get this to sync every 15mins
so that I have 96 syncs in a 24hr period..?

Please advise
