it seems like the net time command does not care about ntp service at all but
queries the first alphabetical computer on a local subnet. Does your proxy's
NetBIOS name comes before your PDC name?

I have an interesting situation.
Environment: NT4 Domain, W2K Pro workstation. PDC (NT4, SP6) set to be the
time server via "NET TIME /SETSNTP:PDC" at the workstation (verified via
/querysntp)
The PDC is running Windows Time Service (w32time) and is set as an NTP
server. It gets its time from a proxy server (W2KS) which has it's time
updated from NIST.
Anyway, at the W2KP station, if you type "net time /set" it points to the
proxy server. Why? If you enter "net time /domain /set" it points to the
PDC as well as when you do the /querysntp.
All I can think of is that the "net time /set" command sees the ntp service
on the proxy server and reports connection to it. Why is it not going to
the PDC like it is told to do?
