  • 0

I am working on 4 machines at a time. It is a real time environment so I have to synchronize the time up to the millisecond, is there anyway to sync the system cliock with millisecond accuracy?

Currently I am syncing the machines with the help of batch script command NET TIME \\TIMESRV /SET /YES, but I am not sure that it sync machines time up to millisecond or not. Is there any other way to do this?

    Microsoft does not guarantee such precision:

    We do not guarantee and we do not support the accuracy of the W32Time
    service between nodes on a network. The W32Time service is not a
    full-featured NTP solution that meets time-sensitive application
    needs.

    The W32Time service is primarily designed to do the following:

    • Make the Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol work.
    • Provide loose sync time for client computers.

    The W32Time service cannot reliably maintain sync time to the range of
    1 to 2 seconds. Such tolerances are outside the design specification
    of the W32Time service.
