DNS Problem?

[Chad]

We have 2 Servers 1 is the PDC (Mailserver) the second is
the file server (server) from the server I can go to a
dos prompt and type nslookup and then server and get the
correct ip back. When trying to sync the time I get
error 5 access denied (i.e. c:\net time
\\mailserver /set /y) Is this a DNS problem or something
else?

Not a DNS problem. (If you put in the IP address of
mailserver, you will get the same error.)

This means that your user credentials (username & password)
don't exist on that server, or don't have the access permissions
needed to authenticate for the RPCs that are required by net time.

Try setting up a drive mapping to that server first with a
"net use ... /user:name password" command, then try
the net time.
