NtpTest.exe could be used to validate the time from a time server. The test queries a time server and compare received time with localtime. The return value is a number. 0 for testFail or 100 for testPass. Syntax ntptest.exe timeout retries n.n.n.n:p Example ntptest.exe 4 1 192.168.10.220:37 if the diff between server time and local time is <= 3 secs the return value = 100 if the diff between server time and local time is > 3 secs the return value = 0 if the server does not respond the return value = 0 To run in debug mode you should create a file named ntpdebug.txt in the same directory as ntptest.exe NB! In SNMPc you must use a Timeout Value that is a little longer than timeout x (retries + 1). In the example above this is 8 secs, so use Timeout=10 in SNMPc. Always use Retries=0 in SNMPc.
