Hi all,

We have domain controllers now in seperate countries covering 2 time zones,
the dc's are all win2k and in single domain. What happens when the machines
sync the time with the PDC emulator when in different time zones?

Nothing. Because in Windows OS me have time in Greenvich format (GMT). At
clients we can select another time zone.

SNTP and NTP use coordinated universal time (UTC). UTC is based on an
atomic time scale and is independent of time zone. Therefore, it is
essential that you have the correct time zone set on your clients,
servers and DCs so that the correct time for your time zone can be
calculated.
