How to check NTP source from win.server 2003?

Question

_{Friday, April 25, 2014 6:36 AM}

Hello,

I have question about NTP. I have two NTP servers. Our two DC's are sync with NTP through GPO group.

Please how can i check, if NTP deamon on my Windows Server 2003 is sync with DC server? This server is in the domain.

And all others servers (2008) in domain are sync with the DC - w32tm /query /status

I checked it on win. server 2003 also, with this command net time /querysntp, but the response was not from my DC. Please where should be the problem?

Thank you.

wrong forum, but try 

W32tm /Stripchart /Computer:<TargetDC> 

Result looks like this: 

C:\Users\thomas.bianco>w32tm /stripchart /computer:LabDC
Tracking LabDC [[fd::2002]:123].

the Asterisk shows how far of from the target your computer is. dead center is syncronized, left is slow, right is fast.

the command i gave you targets a computer of your choice, and my example is to my Lab domain controller. if this is not what you're looking for, maybe you could clarify what you mean by "sync with the domain"?
