Win2k Pro can only use its Domain Controller as an NTP source. 2k Server (and above, I imagine) can use external timesources. This is why setting the NTP server as clock.isc.org or similar does not work in 2k Pro. Use a 3rd party shareware utility like Atomic Sync or the like for standalone Pro boxes.

Well,
if I recall the saying correctly it`s like:
The one who says "It is impossible" should not disturb the one who`s doing it already.
This is *exactly* the topic of the original posting by Klom Dark, who decribes how to use a NTP-Server with *non* Server-Versions of Windows2000/XP.
And, by the way, it works!
I am pretty shure about this, because I already set up diffent Windows2000 machines to use NTP-Servers. They neither were member of a domain, nor domain controller.
I suggest to read the original post more carefully. ;-)
Have a nice day,
Pollyanna

That I am not sure of, I don't have any Win2K Pro machines running to test it on. It seems like I tried it on WinXP Pro and it worked, but don't remember for sure. I did try it on Win2003 Server and it worked.
