Ok, I have now looked through my Group Policies as well as running searches
on several computers registries and do not find any settings that would
force Net time to referr to a particular computer. All the information I
have read indicates that by default Net Time uses the PDC. But on all
computers including the PDC in my network when I type Net Time it gives me
the time and referrs to a different DC ( it may have been the PDC at one
time but is not now). How do I fix this?
