The majority of clients sync their time and have no problem, but for a very small number the clocks are out and never get updated.

Also, make sure that the BIOS's clock is set correctly too. Also check the timezone on the client's machine too. But the event log from the client's machine should telll you the exact issue. -- Jabez Gan [MVP] Microsoft MVP: Windows Server http://www.blizhosting.com MSBLOG: http://msblog.resdev.net "K" <@.> wrote in message news:OiuKKuFZGHA.1764@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Steve It says "time.windows.com,0x1" I guess this means it isn't fetching time from the servers and instead is trying to get it from the internet (which the firewall is probably blocking). What do I need to change (I assume something in GPO) to ensure time is fetched from my DCs instead?

I don't think that's the right command for a domain computer. Try just "net time" with no parameters. It should return a DC name.
