[isalist] Re: Windows Time?

The way I do this is to add my time servers to the ³to² list on the NTP
system policy of a ³chosen² ISA box, and to have that box set to update NTP
to those servers.  I use the Navy boxes in DC and FL as my corp office is on
the East Coast. 

Then, I point my operations master DC to the ISA box, and have all the other
DC¹s point to that DC.  Internal resources automatically sync time to the
DC¹s, so this keep the entire infrastructure perfectly timed.
