w32Time is IPv6 ready? (with link-local address)

Question

Is there any documentation that explains how to configure w32Time to sync from a link-local IPv6 source?

Answer 1

Hi,

In regards to your issue, here're my suggestions:

（1）A computer that is a member of a domain is configured by default to synchronize from the domain hierarchy.

（2）If the computer is not a member of a domain, it must be manually configured to synchronize with a specified time source. Manually-specified time sources must be a NTP server.

I want to confirm that

(1) Is your computer in a workgroup or domain environment?

(2) Is the 'a link-local IPv6 source' you mentioned is configured as a NTP server?

Under different situations, there will be different configuretion.
