Profiles in the wrong place

[Chris Knight]

Howdy,
	All versions of Windows store the time in the BIOS as local time. However,
NET TIME doesn't recognise time zones. So the NET TIME clients need to have
the same timezone settings as the NET TIME server. You may be best using one
of the freeware ntp clients for Windows and use xntp on your Samba server.
