http://www.droptable.com/Uwe/Forum...curity/200512/1Time synchronization is usually done by the Windows Time Service. By
default, time synchronization is done using the standard AD hierarchy.
Clients and member servers get their time from a domain controller in their
domain. Domain controllers get their time from a domain controller in their
parent domain. Forrest root domain controllers are ultimately used as the
time source and use either a hardware clock or NTP source.

One method to resync the time is with the w32tm.exe: w32tm.exe /resync
Another method is with the NET TIME command: NET TIME /DOMAIN:MyDomain /SET

See the technet article below for a discussion of the Windows Time Service:
