Machines in a windows 2000 domain have to be time synchronized. If they are
too far apart the system assumes that someone is trying something funny.
The workstations will try to synch with the domain controller, but if you're
in mid upgrade they may not be able to completely access what they're
looking for. In our network we run the following script on logon to set
them all equal to the server time.
var ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
ws.Run("%COMSPEC% /c net time \\\\servername /set /y",0,true)
Replace servername with the name of your server and you're good to go. (make
sure that server has the correct time first, hehe)
