Thanks for your and everyone else's replies. Unfortunately, the
registry edits would require me to go to all 150 computers here and log
in as local administrator to make the registry changes, which just
really isn't an option. Luckily, I have WPKG installed on all 150
computers to handle automatic deploying of software, and it runs as
local administrator on computer start up. So, I will see if I can use
K9 or another free NTP program to handle time synchronization, or have
WPKG execute a .bat with net time /set /yes \\server upon system start up.
