Clients loose time after net time cmd

After adding the net time \\pdc /set /yes command to our login script, I'm finding that a handful of users now complain that while the time is set correctly for them at login, throughout the day, the system clock actually looses time and by close of business they're between 30-45minutes off.
I never saw this behavior before... anyone have any insight?

If your clients use DHCP in the DHCP manager you can add time server so verybody will get the same time from the time server e.g. your PDC You don't need the net use time anymore !!! On the PDC you run an application e.g. Atomtime and make sure this server will contact the atomclock in Bolder Col. every 15 minuts I experienced the same problem as you with net time now I use the above and we are fine.
