I guess there is no way to push out a standard config for time to make sure the times are set correctly...so if you have a server that is incorrectly configured (i.e. wrong time zone) or the skew configured by the network is incorrect but the service is running and able to query the time source - you are not going to be able to catch it. I think it really comes down to how accurate do they need it. For 13 servers, it is easy enough to install a (s)ntp solution on each server.
