By default, will the client pc (xp, windows 2000 )synchorize the pc time with

Domain controller ?

Yes. (The instant it is joined, it switches from NTP to NT5DS time sync.)

Yes, the Windows Time service is installed by default on all computers

running Windows 2000/XP and the Windows Time service automatically

synchronizes a local computer's time with DC.

 

 

 

When the computers are part of a workgroup, you must manually configure the

time synchronization settings

Make sure 'Type' In the right panel of

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters iss

Nt5DS which is default and will synchronize to domain hierarchy. Or this

troubleshooting may help.

Yes. It is necessary for it to have its time set close to what the DC

is set to in order for a user to log on.

 

You'll typically have one server set as authoritative and it will sync

with an Internet time source. After that, other servers and machines in

your domain would sync with that server's time.

 

Of course, this is a very much simplified explanation.
