windows vista-clock how do I change it??

we upgraded our computers a few months ago. we now have windows vista. the clock on ALL the computers on the server are 6 mins slow. its a PIA! every time I change it by right clicking it, it goes back to the slow time.

Anyone know how to change it?

I have access to the server and can change it there if necessary but I can't see it being that because what I do on my computer only saves or accesses the server when I tell to otherwise its operating from my own computer, if that makes any sense

The server sets the time on the local workstations. The time would need to be fixed on the server.

I dont recommend changing the time on the server if you don't know how to do it. There are many background processes that are tied to the time on the domain and changing the time on the server can cause issues if you don't understand what you're doing.

You should ask your IT staff to change the server to synch with an external time source and it should fix your issues.

ok then odd question, 2 of our computers that are on the network as well, have completly different times in their corners, actually the right time. how come? both do not operate on vista like the rest of the computers
