I have 70 Win2k/2003 servers spreadout across the US. I am recieving Event
ID's 14 & 29 W32 time errors. Do I need to find individual public NTP
servers within their time zones to fix this ? Can I just sync it with my
main AD/DC ( however it is located on the east coast ). Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

There should only be one refernce time source in a Win200x Domain.
That said, I don't know how that scales in a multi-tree, multi-domain
set up. I'm sure that it does though!

I do know that in each Domain the PDC Emulator is the prime time
source. I presume, but don't know for sure, that the PDC Emulator in
subdomain will know that there is a "higher" PDC Emulator for its time
source.

I'd say that you almost certainly don't need external time sources,
since the forest root PDC should do that job. A quick search of the
Microsoft site doesn't reveal much more, I'm afraid. A more extensive
search might turn something up.

Cheers,

Cliff
