in thread last update time of hardware clock (Windows and Linux) with the Server

Hello BrowserUk,

You are absolutely right. This is very important details that I did not mention it. I am looking for the last time it was synchronized with a time from the server.

I am updating the question to avoid future confusion.

    On windows, you can parse the output of: w32tm /query /status. It is the 7th line of 9.

    The info is probably in the registry somewhere, but a quick search of ms.com didn't turn up the relevant key.

      Hello BrowserUk,

      Thank you for your time and effort, I will try to find a common solution that can be applied in both OS. Alternatively I will create a different process for Windows and Linux.

      I appreciate your time and effort. Thanks again.

        It's very doubtful that you'll succeed in that.

        From a very cursory look, I'm not sure that *nix retains last NTP update info; but if it does you won't find a single method that will obtain that information on both *nix and Windows. They are just too different.
