W32Time Period settings Win2000 Adv Svr

[Dav]

Hello,.
I'm trying to setup my member servers to time sync with
the local SNTP server (domain controller) but I'm trying
to do this synching every 15mins (ie. 96 syncs a day).

I have deleted the Period Reg_Sz key (value= SpecialSkew)
and I have replaced it with a Period Dword value of 96.
After reboot I have noticed that the time syncs initially
after 30mins and then keeps doubling up.
Is there anyway I can just get this to sync every 15mins
so that I have 96 syncs in a 24hr period..?

Please advise

Also set GetDcBackoffMaxTimes : REG_DWORD to 0

Desc. The maximum number of times to double the backoff interval
when successive attempts to find a domain controller fails.
An event is logged every time a full wait occurs.
Value 0 = The wait between attempts is minimum and no event is logged
7 = [default]

and GetDcBackoffMinutes : REG_DWORD to 1
Desc. The starting number of minutes to wait before looking for a domain
controller,
if the last attempt failed.
Value 15 = [default]
