Have you installed the GPMC and ran a report, or even a gpresult on the
client side to see if the GPO is actually hitting it?

Also, about the time service, we usually use the sntp command to set it.
Have you done that on the DC that holds the PDC Emulator Role? By default,
all AD clients (servers and other DCs) will point itself to the PDC Emulator
for time synch, so it would be important to initialize that on that specific
DC instead of doing it thru a GPO.

If you are having difficulty in reading or finding responses to your post,
instead of the website you are using, if I may suggest to use OEx (Outlook
Express or any other newsreader of your choosing), and configure a newsgroup
account, pointing to news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link into the
Microsoft Public Newsgroups, and it is FREE and DOES NOT require a Usenet
account with your ISP. With OEx, you can easily find your post, track
threads, cross-post, and sort by date, poster's name, watched threads or
subject.

Not sure how? It's easy:
