XP, Time from PDC or Time.Windows.Com?

It did go to my PDC emulator. Thanks for the script. I'm going to keep a
copy of it, but truth be told, I think we're alright. A 1/4 of our domain
is now at XP and more getting migrated daily, and no one has said anything,
so I think we're ok.

More than likely you already are ok.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to post back.

Normally the workstations should actually get time from NEITHER, but from
the authenticating DC which gets time from PDC Emulator.
