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.

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:
