I have a small 2000 domain(1 DC and 4 WS) It has worked flawlessly for 2 plus years. Recently, I have experienced major time problems. Every few days nobody is able to log in because "the time on the machine and the server are not in sync" or so it says. Even when I try to log into the server, I get that message. Rebooting the server(sometimes multiple times) seems to resolve the problem. The time is right on all machines, so I'm pretty confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here' how I make all my machines the same time. On the worktations go to startup > right click, then choose open. File > new > shortcut and type "net time \\(net bios name of file server without parenthesis) /set /y". I download a free program called symmtime on cnet.com which updates every hour and sets the correct time. No sure if this is the answer you were looking for but I thought it might help.

Does the server set it's time from a timeserver or other external device?
