Keep in mind you can set NTP synchronization options (server, frequency, etc) through Group Policy under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Windows Time Service. There is also a good reference on these options located here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technolog ies/security/ws03mngd/26_s3wts.mspx Regards, Jamie Nelson -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tools@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 12:05 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: system time GPO I think your best bet there would be a startup script, because it will run in localSystem context. However, that runs non-deterministically (i.e. only when a workstation reboots) so if you're creating a script to set a particular time, that probably won't work (for obvious reasons). If you're just using w32time or a similar utility to force a sync with a time source, then its probably ok.
