time sync question

[Darren D]

My company is going to use a one forest/ one domain AD design , all DC's
will be location in this case Chicago. My concern is that since all users
will be authentication to the DC's in Chicago, how will client in different
time zones a.go NY be set.. My reasoning is that since they will be
authenticated via DC's in Chicago their workstations clocks would be set to
Chicago time, is this correct??? and if so how can I make time adjustments
to facilitate clients in different time zone, granted that we are using a
single forest that contains a single domain..
Thanks
Darren

AD uses GMT. Just keep the clocks relative to their respective time zones
and you should be ok.

Darren-

Each client will have a timezone setting, as will the DCs. The clients will
adjust to the right difference from the DCs.
