Time sync on a Server

[VLADY218]

I have 1 Server (2000 Active Directory) and 5 Clients (2000 Professional). The times of the Clients are not in Sync with the Server. I run Login scripts for Mapping drives and I also tryed the NET TIME \\SERVERNAME /SET/Y to sync but it does not work. am I missing something. These computers are not connected to the internet in any way. But i still want to sync the servers time to the clients time.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Go to a command prompt an type:

net time /setsntp <NTP Server Name>

Go to Services and restart the WINDOWS TIME Service. The workstation will automatically keep time with the NTP server specified.

If your server is not a Domain Controller you will have to edit the registry for it to be a Time Server.
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Local NTP Edit the Dword from 0 to 1. Stop and Restart the time service on the server.
Then run your NET TIME /SETSNTP SERVERNAME and NET TIME /SET for your clients.
