force net time on every computer across domain?
should I do this with GPO at startup
or is there a way to push out a command "net time /set" in real time to all connected workstations?

You could use a batch file or script but you shouldn't need to use net time to do that.  Is the domain time hiearchy not working.

Matt has a good blog on time   http://tigermatt.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/windows-time-for-active-directory/

Thanks

A time script will sync the PC to same time as server but not sync the daylight savings changes. If daylight savings is not updating when it should you may be missing Windows updates.

You could download TZedit from the following link and verify what dates to which the time changes are actually set:
