Server 2003 and Client System Time not syncing

I am working on a server 2003 std box which is a DC. The customer has told me that the clocks on the server and some workstations do not match. I do not know much about how to fix this issue, but I am under the impression that the server should be the clock the clients look to for syncing. Please let me know your suggestions.

Easiest way would probably be if you have Active Directory and if you're running a logon script. If you do, add the following line along with other commands (such as NET USE for network drive mappings):

NET TIME \\mywindowsserver /SET /YES

Reaplace "mywindowsserver" with your server's name and that way, whenever a client logs on, the time will sync.

Is that not a default feature for a 2003 domain controller/domain. I would think that this would be automatic when I join a new pc or existing pc to the domain?
