OK, I know I can simply use time.apple.com for the macs to sync their time, however, I want to mess around with expiry systems, which are based on current date and time, on various versions of the Mac OS (from 8.6 through to 10.4.x) So a script to do this might not be possible (well, probably is for OS X, but not for Pre OS X).

I have windows servers, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any free/shareware NTP Server software for Windows 2000/2003 that I could download and point the Macs at.

TIA

Just discovered something, whilst playing around. Seems that my 2003 Server is acting as an NTP server, as I can set my clients NTP server location to it's IP address and they happily get the time from there.

Assume this might be something to do with the server being setup in AD as a Domain Controller.

Very nice all the same, makes it much easier to do things, plus no additional software.

yes it is, usually the server with the PDC emulator role.

Some info at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=224799

Its wise to have all clients pointing at the same time source when using kerberos authentication.

Thanks for the link David. It does make sense as to why it's doing it, just thankfull it is, was trying to get the NTP in fedora working, but gave up Far too lazy me
