I have 4 pc's that are all windows 2003 and I am trying to figure a way to
syncronize all there times. With the domain it's easy I just have to use the
net time command on the AD server and all the clients sync up but what does
a guy do in the case of 4 pc's that aren't on the domain? I tried using the
net time command on each 1 individually but it doesn't seem to actually do
anything. If anyone has figured this out already I would appreciate any
suggestions.
 
net time /setsntp:a.b.c.d (a.b.c.d = The IP address of your favorite public
time server). Works like a champ. I'd suggest using a list of NTP servers.
Load and other factors can affect availability, so having a few to try if
your fav fails will help. You can use the fqdn instead of the IP address,
i.e. "clock1.redhat.com".
