I've read a lot of the Windows Time Services
documentation from Microsoft, but I'm still not sure what
the right process is to sync time in a SBS 2003
environment. We have a single domain with a single SBS
2003 server, with 6 clients (all XP Professional). How do
we:

1) Keep the server automatically sync'd with an external
trusted time server?

2) Keep the clients automatically time sync'd with the
server?

Thank
