Please Help with windows time!!

[angryblack]

I am having a problem with some of our windows 2000
clients not keeping prpoer time with the dc. Some of
them either fall back in time or are keeping the correct
time. The dc's are seup to get the time info from our
edge rougter which get's the time from the mil clock.
The one thing almost all of the workstations have in
common even those that are keeping time correct is they
do not have a time server setup if you do a NET
TIME /QUERYSNTP it says no time server. Can anyone tell
me how might this be caused and how to change it on a
mass level.

Well my thing is at this point is does a win2000/xp clint
need to show a time server if you do a net time/querysntp
or doe it sync autmatically. Also according to microsoft
a clint should be issued a time server once it joins a
domain however that is not the case, so i am just
wondering if i am missing some thing?

Just set the time service up on the machine that holds the PDC Emulator
token. Follow these steps in a cmd prompt on that machine. As Kevin said,
use the net time /setsntp command. By default all windows macihnes in a
domain will sync up with the PDC Emulator. Use the IP of your router
(provding it's running a time server service or daemon) and follow these
steps (spell the commands exactly as you see it here):

net time /setsntp:IPofYourRouter
net stop w32time
w32tm -once
net start w32time

Then you should be good to go.
