Synching desktop clocks to server clock

Does anyone know how I tell all the desktop workstations on my LAN to synch their clocks with one of the servers? I am having problems with the daylight savings time switch and it would be easier if I could just deal with one machine to handle the clocks.

As an alternative, is their an atomic clock connection out there that doesn't also download spam?
 
Howdie Greg!

If your clients are in a domain, they should sync with the domain
controllers by default.

If those machines are in a workgroup, you'll need to touch the machines
one by one or script it with WMI or VBScript. This paper might help you:

Thanks for the info. We are just building the domain now and are still
logging in to the local workstation. When we get domain logins, I expect it
will then synch nicely, based on what you have said.
