I want my XP clients to update their clocks from my samba server. I
have time server = yes in smb.conf, and running ntpd on the server,

command manually logged in as a domain user:
net time /setsntp:10.8.2.3
but it just says "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied".
Any ideas?
The relationship of "net time" and a real ntp server seems to be a one
time sync only anyway. However, you can have the PC really use ntp:
:: setup ntp client
:: need to be an admin - one time setup
sc stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net time /setsntp:ntpd-server
sc config w32time start= auto
sc start w32time
w32tm /resync
w32tm /stripchart /computer:ntpd-server /samples:1
Could instead use a real Policy or manually jam it into the registry:
:: setup ntp client
:: need to be an admin - one time setup
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\Parameters /f
