If ntpd is available on the live CD you could just create or modify /etc/ntp.con and then run the ntpd binary ... > I did let the NTP setup disable other time services and made sue that > W32TIME was disabled.

Even if a client is member of a Windows domain it would run w32time to sync to the PDC. The only difference is that w32time automatically configures the PDC as its upstream time server. The NTP port doesn't do that, using ntpd you have to configure the upstream NTP server manually. BTW, domain members running w32time only seem to configure the PDC as their upstream time server automatically if w32time is running on the PDC. I don't know the way this is determined by the client.
