I'm coming late to this party but that hasn't stopped me throwing in my two pennies worth before... We have our own atomic / radio clock here, physically attached to a DC. The DC it is connected to syncs to this hardware and all our other servers sync to this DC. My feeling is that while having the correct time is obviously a very good thing, what is more important is that all your nodes are consistent with each other; in other words, I think that what source you pick is less important than picking just one source and making damn sure every node uses time that is based off this source. -- Robert Moir Microsoft MVP for Windows Servers & Security Senior IT Systems Engineer Luton Sixth Form College Right vs. Wrong | Good vs. Evil God vs. the devil | What side you on?
