Net Time Question

[ryanropp]

We have a wan and for some reason all pc's think the remote pdc is the authoritive time server. I want to make my firewall pc the authoritive time server, how do I set it to where all pc's will poll this server when doing a net time? All servers are Windows 2k, service pack 2 and the clients are mixed 2k pro and nt 4.

Thanks,
Ryan

You have to install the NTP software before you can use net time. This link has a good coverage of the subject:

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. From my workstation, if I do net time it queries the remote pdc by default. How do i make it query the main pdc by default? I did what you said above, rebooted and it still defaults to the remote pdc.

Thanks,
