Re: Synching desktop clocks to server clock

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.

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:
