I'm currently getting time from our Windows domain controllers in two locations with a good degree of accuracy. I'm not sure where the DCs are getting their time from though. I'm pretty sure you can set the windows servers to use a public source if you feel the local time may be a problem. -Matt Iavarone _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
