Login scripts is the most efficient way. If you don't want users to see this, you can go to the command line and type:

at 12:00pm /every:m,t,w,th,f net time\\serevrname /set /y

It will run this command in the background at 12:00pm every morning.

You could also do something along the lines of a START /MIN CMD /C "NET TIME \\servername /set /y" to make the DOS box minimize itself while running. It's still visible on the Taskbar, though.

FYI, CMD /C makes the window go away when processingis completed. If you want the window to remain (while testing, for example), use CMD /K instead.
