I have several PCs that are running Windows XP
Professional, and most had been synchronized with an
external time source (nist.gov) before they were added to
the domain. Once they were added to the domain,
the "Internet Time" tab disappeared from the time/date
setting panel. Is there anyway to recover the tab
(change a registry setting or something)so that I can set
the remaining PCs to the external time source?
By default PCs in a domain are synchronized to the domain server time.

Thanks for the reply. Is the only way to recover the tab then, is to remove the PC from the domain, set the synchronization source, and then add it back into the domain? The other domain PCs are still synchronizing from nist.gov- my server clock loses time, and those PCs that did not have the sync source set show the server time. The others show the time from NIST.

Why not fix that problem at the source? Is the server set to sync time with
a public time server? Errors in the event logs?

You really want all PCs to sync time with the DC.

The server is running W2K Advanced server, and I can't get it to sync with an external source (option to sync with external source not available either). Since I can't get the server to sync, I figured I'd try to get the workstations to sync.
P.S.- the workstations all have WinXP Pro. The server is slated to go to Server 2K3 in 6-9 months.

The clients MUST be in sync with the server for
KERBEROS to function correctly.
