How to check to see that all servers are time-synced to NTP

I have tests to check to see that servers are running W32Time, but I cannot seem to find a test to see if the time is actually synchronized on multiple servers.

1 NTP test item can check time on 1 server. If you need to check several servers, you need to setup test item for each server

The NTP test works if the host is an NTP server. What i am looking to see is the time on each server on the network itself. Once i have the servers reporting their time i can check for those servers with incorrect times.

Thanks Alex.

So you need to get system time without using NTP protocol?
H'm, I think you may create VB script to retrieve system time using WMI protocol and use Shell Script test method to execute this script.

You may retrieve system time using query like
select LocalDateTime from Win32_OperatingSystem
