No. If you're in an Active Directory environment and all your servers and clients are Windows 2000 or greater, do this: (1) Point your PDC Emulator at an external ntp server using the /setsntp switch. (2) Go to lunch. You're done.
All other DC's will set their time to the PDC Emulator. All member servers and clients will set their time to their authenticating DC during logon, and again at periodic intervals (in case you rarely log on or off). You do not need to do anything to make this happen, AD takes care of everything for you (once the PDC Emulator has been configured, as I said). If you have Win9x or NT clients or servers, you will need to explore alternative methods for those boxes.
