You could use a log on script, and use "NET TIME [\\SERVER-NAME] /SET /YES".
This will set the Workstation time to Server time at logon.
Or run the command anytime to synchronise.

What kind of server you talk about? If you use SQL server, you can get time
from store procedure, every database application can use that time, if you
do not have server, you may use WinShoes to develop a simple TCP server to
send server local time to workstation while workstation request it.
