So if our core switch is currently configured to sync with an outside time source, and our AD picks it up from there, what, if anything, would be the advantage of using an app like K9 or About Time? Or would that be more appropriate for an environment that didn't lend itself (for tech or territorial reasons) to using an infrastructure component as a time source?
