Network Clock

I have an NT server with W95 clients. Pre NT, under Novell, each client used to take it's clock from the server but under NT this doesnt happen. How can I achieve this under NT. Each user does already have a script file, perhaps there is a command I can put in these?
You can always get a free shareware utility to check one of the atomic clocks.

An easy fix is to install the timeserv.exe from the NT4 Resource Kit on one server (typically the PDC) and set it to synch with a public time service like NASA (its in the readme with timeserv).
Once you have the server set to update regularly you can add a line in the login script
net time \\servername /s /y
which will force each PC to synch with the server time at each login.
