Hi There

Is there a command that can be run xp machines in a SBS2003 domain to verify that the xp machine is getting it's time from the SBS 2003?

Hello:

The below command will force the station to sync with the domain controllers.  You could also specify the name of the sbs.  For parameters, type net time /?.  By domian policy the joined stations automatically get their time from the SBS unless it has been altered since the last boot.

net time \\domain /set /yes
The following will verify the name of the time server used. It should be your SBS
  w32tm /query /source  
With XP you may have to use the old command which is:
  net time /querysntp

You can compare local and server time to verify accurate by running. This w
  net time
and local time with
  time /t
or just
  time
but the later is looking for input to change the time, so just click "esc"
