[Xymon] check time drifting on windows hosts

[Storer, Raymond]

On Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2 you can run:
w32tm /query /status

On Windows Server 2003 there is no built-in way to confirm the local time against a time server. There are several third-party tools (some free) you could use to sync them to a local or remote time server or test the time difference.

Good luck.

Subject: [Xymon] check time drifting on windows hosts

Hello.

Is there a way of checking for time drift on windows hosts (using bbwin) in xymon?

I can see that on linux hosts this is a part of the cpu test, you can see how far off the time is between the monitored host and the xymon server.

In my case, the Xymon server is also the NTP source for my company and I want to know if servers are not within around 10-15 seconds from that time.



best regards,
Larus Rafn
