The service is known as "Windows Time" and is required if the computer
participates in an Active Directory ( Win 2000 / Win2003 server ). I have
found that service to be problematic where a Samba PDC is used instead (
mystery can't find domain controller stuff ).
Much easer to put the
net time \\ntpcomputer /set:yes
in the logon script for the user ( been working fine here for 6 years ), or
in the scheduled tasks if not using a Samba PDC. That might not be the most
"technically correct" solution but it was a heckuva lot easier than trying
to make NTP work for me. (The server updates itself using ntp).
