from my "Help and Support Center" on a Win2K3 server, I get the following when I searched for "Net Time":
Net time Synchronizes the computer's clock with that of another computer or domain. Used without parameters, net time displays the time for another computer or domain ...... Remarks * W32tm.exe is a similar command that is used to synchronize the local computer's time with a remote computer or a domain. Because of its flexibility, W32tm.exe is the preferred method for time synchronization. For more information on W32tm.exe, see Related Topics.

I found the following commands to configure a time server in AD: Net Time /Setsntp:<servername> W32tm /Config /manualpeerlist What is the difference between the W32tm and Net Time command? Can I use either of these commands to configure a time source in AD and sync with an external time server? Do I need to manually sync the time on all the DCs with the PDC emulator's time or will the DC automatically contact the PDC emulator for the time sync? Thanks in advance!
