Type NET TIME ? from a command prompt and it will give you the options you need. However, if your clients are running WIndows 2000 or later, they should be synching automatically.

yes, they are running Windows 2000 standard server. I'm getting erros and the eventID lookup tells me that it is a Time Sync issue. Also, on the Event Log I'm getting a Wtime event (or something like that) stating that it is unable to connect to the time server.

You should NOT use "net time" on anything in an AD forest/domain. Workstations will sync time with the server holding the PDCe FSMO role. You need to simply configure that server to sync with an external time source.
