I'm using Meinberg NTP to sync the time in a VPS. The clock refuses to sync - there's a ~30s shift comparing to other servers.

Meinberg NTP comes with a status script that checks hte delay\jitter every 10s and it is showing all zeros.

Actions I've taken which didn't help:

Restarted the NTP service using a script that comes with Meinberg NTP
Added port 123 for UDP and TCP as an exception port to Windows Firewall
Added Meinberk NTP executables as an exception program to Windows Firewall
validated iburst appears after each server listed in the configuration file
Restarted the server

The OS is a Windows Server Standard SP2 32bit.

What did I miss?
