1. You need to install poledit.exe from the resource kit on the CD. The path being
<cd-rom drive>:\tools\reskit\netadmin\poledit run setup and then read through the help files installed with it.

Poledit will allow you to create policy files that you then place in the Netlogon share on the NT4 server. When you login, the client will then reference the policy and implement your changes. I would however strongly suggest that you read the help at least before you attempt this or you could open a can of worms for yourself.

2. Use the following syntax in your logon script

NET TIME \\<servername> [/SET] [/YES]

<\\servername> is the time server that you wish to synchronise with,
[/set] instructs the server to set the time,
[/yes] instructs the time setting to take place without user intervention.

Hope this helps you
