I have a w2k3 server with a bad time drift.  This server is not part of a
domain.  How can I manually force a sync to a NTP time server on a scheduled
basis through executing a command line as a scheduled task?

w32tm command?  net time command?  third party client?

I need to do this hourly.

The manual sync is a requirement and the "w32tm -s" command is not valid on
window server 2003 workgroup machine , as indicated in the article, I tried
this :(.

Can you put a simple "net time /set \\computername" into a script and run it
via the task scheduler?

Really though, are you looking into this "bad time drift" issue? Usually
this is from a bad battery.
