Deepak,
First off, your name is familiar. I think you were one of my customers a
while back when you opened a case with MS for a directory services issue.
Could have been another Deepak I suppose.

Anyway, when you toggle the check box, the following registry value is
changed.

HKLM\system\ccs\services\w32time\parameters
"Type" REG_SZ = NTP when the synch box is checked.
"Type" REG_SZ = NoSync when the synch box is unchecked.

Just do a reg query from VB to find out this value.
