> This is a bit confusing.  The Net Time command has two functions:

>  1.  get time from a time source using the Windows native time service,
> which is NetBIOS based and is available on Windows NT and Windows 2000
> computers (e.g. net time \\computername [/set] [/yes]).

>   2. configure the time source for the Windows 2000 NTP based time service
> (e.g. net time /setsntp:DNS name or IP address).

> These two functions are not related and do not interact.

> To test an NTP time source, use the w32tm command:.

>   w32tm -once -v

> will attempt to get the time from the currently configured NTP time
source.
> The -v option produces a trace, which you can use to see what source is
> being queried and whether it worked or not.

> There is no such thing as listening for updates when it comes to the NTP
> protocol.  The time source responds to time queries, but does not push
time
> updates.  The Windows time service will query its time source every so
often
> (at startup and about twice per day afterwards).

> Windows 2000 member computers in a Windows 2000 domain should not have any
> time source manually specified.  Instead, they should be configured to
> automatically use one of the domain controllers as a time source.  To
remove
> any previously configured time source, issue the command:

>      net time /setsntp:

> Then, the time service will get time from a domain controller (as Michael
> says).  As far as I'm aware, Michael is correct about the time hierarchy
in
> a Windows 2000 Domain.

> I don't think having a mixed as opposed to native mode Windows 2000 domain
> make any difference to how the time synchronisation works for Windows 2000
> computers.
