what would the best and simplest way to have all servers and workstations have the same time ?

Hi

IIRC, a script with:
Where \\server is a server that has the correct time and syncs to NTP ocassionally.Code:net time \\server /set /yes
Group policy, Windows Time.
Sync DC to external source (it has to be an authorative source or else the DC won't allow clients to use it for ntp)
Configure the gpo for client machines (not the dcs, can't sync to itself!) to point to the externally synced DC.
If your in Birmingham the BGfL has NTP servers. Just point your time server to ntp.bgfl.org :wink:
uk.pool.ntp.org elsewhere :)
Ta... we are LGFLQuote:

I tried to explain but he just didn't get it, found it eventually though, think it might have been on their DNS.
I used the JANET NTPs until they locked them to JANET only.
RBCs have their own.

Set up your PDC as an authoritative time server using it's own internal clock and have the workstations synchronize with it.
massive thead bump batman but thanks for the UK time servers.
