Re: time re-sync interval on clients (adjust)

Thanks for the links.

Yes, a couple of the clients are drifting badly.
The drifters are all running some very processor intensive apps.
Without the CPU load, they do maintain time fairly well.

I did just this morning, come up with a solution that is working well for
me.
I have a Linux server so I set it up to be a ntp server.

I then created a gpo on the SBS box that tells it and all clients to grab
time from the Linux box every 10 minutes.
Working like a charm!
