Very nice. I hope some of this can be picked up by our doco folks ;-) The way I handle this is by system policy - we run a Samba domain, and I have a number of NT4 system policies. The NTP .adm file we use is attached. System polices are not a very easy business - but follow the pattern, and you can handle almost anything.
