Time supplied by the server WITHOUT DHCP

Is there a way I can have all the client PC's on my WIN 2K Active
Directory LAN get their time from the AD server? We went with Static
IP addresses as the other DHCP server was causing all sorts of
problems. Anyway, the time they were getting from the DHCP server is
at least 23 minutes off (sometimes hours!)

Is there a way I can set my AD server to get the atomic time and let
the client PC's get their time from this server?

This network is on an AD domain but the time on the workstations is
not even CLOSE to the time on the server (which remains accurate, by
the way.) Someone told me that the DHCP configuration would also
update time on these workstations.

I'll review the link, Thanks, Richard!

Make sure all the machines are on the correct time zone. If the time is
close to exactly one hour or two hours, etc.,...then it may be a time zone
issue.

Setting the proper DNS records and settings in the AD controller
worked the trick. Thanks, you guys, for all your assistance. It seems
that DNS rules AD.
