Remotely sync WIN XP PRO system time with AD

[WORLDe]

Hello, I am the network admin and I am running VISTA Business. My clients
have WIN XP PRO.
My AD runs on a 2008 & 2003 server mixture.
occasionally, I notice that some clients' system clocks are off by 2-3
minutes and sometimes more.
I have created a logon script that forces the system clock to sync with the
domain.

Any ideas as to why some of these computers become out of sync occasionally?

What can i do to check this?

If possible, i would like to be able to sync their PCs from my workstation
remotely without having to RDP into the PC.
