Windows Time Synchronize Automaticlly with Internet Time Service

When I synchronized the Windows XP with Internet Time Service by manual,
there was a Time Service Event Log35 indicating that system had been
synchronized successfully. And I set the system synchronized automatically
every 12hr then let system in idle. How I can know the system has been
synchronized successfully after each 12hr? Are there any Windows Event Logs?

Well I know of noway to set the stock Windows XP to sync the time every
12 hours. As the default is every 7 days. Where do you set it to every
12 hours?

There are tons (including many free) that can be set to virtually
anything. My favorite freebie is Dimension4. It shows a graph and
everything.

In the registry, search for "specialpollinterval". It defaults to the
decimal value 604800, the number of seconds in seven days. It can be
edited there to whatever you want.

It can be modified in Register.You can change the value under:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient\SpecialPollInterval

Even if don't change the default time interval, is there any Windows Event Log
to indicate that system has been synchronized automatically?
