- <h3>NTP 4.x for Windows 2000 or later</h3>
+ <h3>NTP 4.x for Windows</h3>
<h4>Introduction</h4>
- <p>The NTP 4 distribution runs as service on Windows 2000 and later. It will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, ME, etc. The binaries work on multi-processor systems. This port has not been tested on the Alpha platform. This release now uses OpenSSL for authentication. IPv6 is not implemented yet for Win32 platforms. A ready-to-run install distribution is available from Meinberg at <a href="http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm">http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm.</a></p>

Lately it has been run the most on Windows-7 and later. The binaries work on multi-processor systems. This port has not been tested on the Alpha platform. This release now uses OpenSSL for authentication. IPv6 is not implemented yet for Win32 platforms. A ready-to-run install distribution is available from Meinberg at <a href="http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm">http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm.</a></p>
<p>Users should note that the stock Windows client sends requests as mode-1 packets, which can have unintended consequences and create a security risk. The client should send requests as mode-3 (client) packets, which conform to the protocol specification. The issues and resolution are described in Microsoft KB 875424. A less desirable alternative that avoids changing registry keys is to use the <tt>--with-wintime</tt> option when building the executable.</p>
<h4>Authentication Keys</h4>
<p>With this release ntp-keygen is supported. See the <a href="../keygen.html"> ntp keygen documentation</a> for details on how to use ntp-keygen.</p>
</ul>
<h4>Compiling Requirements</h4>
<ul>
- <li>Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000, Windows XP,Windows Vista or Windows.NET Server 2003
- <li>Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 EE or Visual C++ 2010 EE
+ <li>Windows 7 or Windows.NET Server 2003, or later.
+ <li>Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista <i>may</i> still work.
+ <li>Microsoft Visual C++ 2008, 2010, or 2013 EE
<li>Some way of uncompressing and untarring the gzipped tar file.
<li>OpenSSL must be built on the box before building NTP. Additional steps would
be required to not use OpenSSL.
<li>Run Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 EE.
<li>Open the ports\winnt\vs2008\ntp.sln solution file
<li>Batch build all projects (Build menu, Batch Build..., select all, build).
- <li>The built binaries can be found in the <tt>ports\winnt\v2008\Win32-bin\Release</tt. directory.
+ <li>The built binaries can be found in the <tt>ports\winnt\v2008\Win32-bin\Release</tt> directory.
<li>If you are shipping binaries in a kit it is strongly recommended that you ship this file (winnt.html) along with the binaries.
