I believe that Windows time uses the system's BIOS clock in some way. If your system was old and the BIOS battery had weakened or quit then the next time you boot the clock would be off by minutes and Windows would have to update itself again against the domain. At least I think the above is true I could be wrong.

As I just saw someone else pointed out, no, you shouldn't have to do this. For some reason we did though, some were out of sync by over 15 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Rich Milburn MCSE, Microsoft MVP - Directory Services Sr Network Analyst, Field Platform Development Applebee's International, Inc. 4551 W. 107th St Overland Park, KS 66207 913-967-2819 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- "I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." - Pablo Picasso -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adams, Kenneth W (Ken) Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 1:27 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] time sync script If you're talking about a script that runs on the client machines, then just use the 'net time' command in a logon script.
