Title: NTPSec and Windows NTP Clients
Post by: mahesh on Aug 04, 2023, 08:02 AM
I have a Ubuntu 23.04 that I am setting up as an NTP server. I ran the "sudo apt-get install ntp" to install but it installs ntpsec instead. (See below) I went ahead and configured ntpsec instead of ntp with mostly default settings. I've connected multiple devices (VMWare, Cisco Switches, etc) to use the new ntpsec server with no issues. However, when I point my Windows Primary Domain Controller emulator at the new ntpsec server I get "The computer did not resync because no time data was available." Upon further investigation is seems "Unlike NTP, NTPsec doesn't support Windows". Any ideas on how to get Windows to use ntpsec, how to install classic ntp or an alternative ntp package to ntp/ntpsec?
