Windows NTP action

Hi,

I have a NTP test where I test local server time with our internal timeserver.

I test every hour.

Action is:
1. Execute External program: cmd /c "w32tm /resync" after 1 bad
2. Execute External program: cmd /c "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:OUR TIME SERVER,0x1 /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update" after 1 bad
3. Execute HMS Script: ResetRecurrencesTest.hms after 1 bad
4. Send E-mail after 24 bad tests

Problem is if it fails in action 1 and 2, it does not send the email since its been reset.

How can I get an email when time sync has failed?

I can see several options:
1. Remove action N3.
2. Change Action N3 to start only after 24 consecutive Bad results.
3. Change Action N4 to Send e-mail after 1 Bad.
4. Change actions N3 & N4 to repeat until status changes, chnage action N3 to start after 24 Bad statuses.

If none of these options are acceptable, please explain what exactly do you want to implement.

This just like this to Work

I have not made this test originally, all I can see is that I do not get any mails, since it resets.

You think I don't need the ResetRecurrencesTest.hms ??

I don't know what is content of ResetRecurrencesTest.hms and why do you need to reset recurrences.
That's why I'm asking you to explain what do you need.
If you don't know why test needs to reset resurrences,
you may disable this test and create a test copy (Action profile copy) with different settings, suggested in my previous post.
Also, could you show content of ResetRecurrencesTest.hms ?

Hi, I thought ResetRecurrencesTest.hms was a standard hms script that came along with the installation.

I have removed it, now I will test more.

Is there any other way to set local time on server without using N1 and N2 ??

Hi, I thought ResetRecurrencesTest.hms was a standard hms script that came along with the installation.

ResetRecurrencesTest.hms file does not come with HostMonitor.
And there is no reason to use ResetRecurrencesTest HMScript command unless you want to repeat the same actions again and again.
(note: I have no idea what commands do you use in this script file, may be there is something useful...)

HostMonitor does not set time so you have to use external command.
BTW: IP-Tools can synchronize time in unattended mode
