Have a single master domain infrastructure, with 30 servers and 300 workstations all NT 4 SP6. We need to synchronize all the machine clocks with our PDC's clock for Eastern Standard Time. We are not using logon scripts and prefer not to. What is the best way to synch all the machines clocks with the PDC?

You should install w32time on all your machines. This will sync all your machines together you can download w32time from microsoft at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/y2kfix/
This should contain the documentation for setting up w32time also there is an article at microsoft on editing the registry for w32time that is useful. its article q223184.

Good luck and let me know if you need assistance.

Do I have to install this program on ALL of my workstations??? If not, in what section of the ini file do I indicate my clients names. Also, I am not clear on Master, and Primary servers. Can I install the program as a Primary server?

How about scheduling a task with this command
net time /domain:name of domain /set /y
this is how I synch all my servers to the pdc.
