See tip 2669 » How do I configure an authoritative time server in Windows 2000?
in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com
If the new time is more than 5 minutes different that the old time, See tip
3570 » 'The clocks on the client and server computers are skewed'?
You could temporarily, or permanently, alter the logon script,
assuming all users have the right to change time on their workstation:
NET TIME /SET /YES
or you can create a startup script, which runs in the system context.
or
every day, maually adjust the server time by a few minutes, until it is within a few minutes of the correct time,
and then sync with an external time source.
