Computer Time

[Guest]

We have over 100 computers in our building, not all of them are on the
internet. Most of the compuiters have restricted access so the end user can
not change the time. My question is, and it may be a simple answer, can I
create a small server on a computer that will keep all of the non-internet
computers time updated? In other words can I setup the end users computer to
look for a local computer on the network for the time instead of using
"time.nist.gov"?

Write a batch file containing the command

NET TIME \\computer /SET /YES (replace computer with the name of the
computer you want to synch to).

Put that batch file (or a shortcut to it) in the startup folder of each of
the other computers on the network.
