2000 Pro Workstation Loses Time Sync w/ 2000 Server

I have a logon script (net time batch file) set in Active Directory for a user to run. It works correctly at the workstation for certain (I even set the time incorrectly and watched it change!). However, after 5 or more days, the time at this workstation starts creeping back up by about 5-6 minutes. I can see the batch file running at startup still, but it appears nothing is happening.

The user is just a Domain User and does not have privileges to change the time. There is one GPO set up for time on the server, but I don't think it's doing anything actively, especially since that batch file worked when I first ran it.

Is there anything I need to do at this user's workstation? What do I do to troubleshoot? Thanks very much!

Lynnton,

Does "Automatically adjust clock for day light savings" need to be enabled or disabled?

amann44,

If it's enabled on the server, enable it on ALL the workstation.

Thanks,

This will take care of it net time \\your_domain_server_name /set /yes as it will make the workstation look at the servers time ste the server to auto ajust the timezone.
