Is there any tool (or maybe registry configuration, whatever) that turns a Windows XP machine into a multicast ntp server? I am looking for a freeware solution preferable.
The Meinberg port of NTPd is version 4.2.4p8 which is supposed to support Manycast. I have not actually used it (the Windows port for manycast) so I can not attest it it's functionality. I know the 4.2.4p5 version I use on *nix does support it.
An additional bonus to this route, it uses the exact same configuration file as the *nix version (same software, you'd expect as much). Also the ntpq and ntpdc utilities are included for diagnostics and testing.

It is however not free but a small cost: http://www.han-soft.com/nettime.php
I do not know of any free versions that do multicast.
