Hi,

In the future please write a new email instead of forwarding or replying
to a ml post or digest.

You can normally check NTP clocks of windows servers if they're acting
as a clock server - Domain controllers usually do.

IIRC you can start the service on normal servers and you'll be able to
check them too.

BTW, check_ntp is deprecated. Since windows servers do not support NTP
control packets, check_ntp_peer will not work; use check_ntp_time instead.
