If you are in a Windows 2000 or better domain, time syncing services are
available as a domain service. You simply need to clear the SNTP setting of the
clients via the command

net time /setsntp

and then the time on the PC will be set to the time on the DC that authenticated
them and adjusted for the local PCs BIAS.
