I am running Vista 32-bit with SP2 and I am unable to sync the time via the
w32tm service. I just get an error on the screen with no entries in the
system event viewer. Listed below is the debug of w32tm /resync /rediscover
....

Can anyone shed any light on this? Other ntp clients work fine and I am
able to do a stripchart command against time.windows.com w/o an issue. So, I
don't think it is a firewall issue.

Any ideas? TIA
Mark
