Hi,
I want to compare the time used by our internal servers against time.microsoft.com. Is there an easy way to do this?
Basically a third party sends me messages stamped with a time that has been synced iwth time.microsoft.com, unfortunately our servers are using a different time server, so I want to calculate if there is a significant difference between the our NTP synced time, and theirs.
Is there a simple way to accurately compare times?
regards,
David.
