Well, I just have a line in the batch file logon script that sets the time based on the server I assigned. net time \\ServerName /SET /YES Of course I had to use Group Policy to allow users to set the time when the logon script ran. I am sure there are more elegant ways to do this but it works for me.

Hi list, anyone know of a very accurate time service that can run on a Windows 2000 network? We have an issue where the client computers are occasionally lagging about 2 seconds behind the domain controller which is supposed to control the time. The other day all of the client computers showed 2 seconds behind our server for a period of time (a few hours or so). The problem has gone away and they are all on the same time again, but the issue has many worried that Windows time is not accurate enough. Microsoft acknowledges this and dubs the Windows time service "loosely synchronized" across the network. They were using an older time synch client which requires all of the clients to have the Daylight savings option unchecked, but that screws up Outlook shared calendars and kerberos logons are a nightmare and I am really trying to avoid dealing with all of that again. So, if there is a very accurate time service that can work with the daylight savings options checked, wed love to know about it. Thanks for any input!
