Time lag can be a painful thing in certain applications, had an incident before where the payroll system which is linked to the accesscard system was getting out of sync, some factory production workers are getting "free" overtime pay due to a few mins out of sync with the realworld's time...

I'm coming late to this party but that hasn't stopped me throwing in my two pennies worth before... We have our own atomic / radio clock here, physically attached to a DC. The DC it is connected to syncs to this hardware and all our other servers sync to this DC. My feeling is that while having the correct time is obviously a very good thing, what is more important is that all your nodes are consistent with each other; in other words, I think that what source you pick is less important than picking just one source and making damn sure every node uses time that is based off this source. -- Robert Moir Microsoft MVP for Windows Servers & Security Senior IT Systems Engineer Luton Sixth Form College Right vs. Wrong | Good vs. Evil God vs. the devil | What side you on?
