Hello Everyone, |
41 |
|
42 |
Thank you for the many solutions however, I am totally lost as to which would |
43 |
be most reliable in a collocation setting vs. office desktop. What we would like |
44 |
is to set up our own ntp server which other servers and desktops in our office |
45 |
syncs to. Is this advised? If so, is there a nice tutorial online? |
46 |
|
47 |
Kind Regards, |
48 |
