You can set up a batch file on each pc/server and schedule it as a task to run every second or something, perhaps every 15 seconds. The clocks oughtn't drift more than a fraction of second in every 15.<br />

net time \\[time server] /set<br />

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sync member server and/or member workstations of a WIndows 2K3 domain to time source that would keep the clocks in sync to the split second. &nbsp;We have critical applictaions running and is is imperative that our time stay synced without going astray. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I know that the computers should be syncing with the domain controller however they seem to loose their time every so often by about 15 to 45 seconds and that causes issues with our software. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks. &nbsp;
