I guess I didn't ask properly, maybe this is the wrong place.

Maybe what I asked in my original posting was too broad to accomplish in one fell swoop. Let's break it down a little further. Lets say I have 500 Windows XP/2000 workstations. 200 are in a domain to which I am an admin, the other 300 are not domain joined but I have access to credentials. If I have proper *windows* authentication there should be a way to query the time on all these machines. Maybe not via (S)NTP but some windows mechanism. I'm specifically looking to find machines which are not syncing properly to my Time server or are not set at all.

The NET TIME windows command will display the time at a remote machine, however the display is only to the nearest minute - good enough to detect a completely unsynchronised workstation perhaps? To do better you could use the NetRemoteTOD() Win32 API call from a C program which gives hundredths of seconds.

I'm not sure whether either of these will work in a non-domain environment.
