For all the windows domain servers and clients, it is the default
configuration.  Because time sync is a prerequisite for kerberos (AD) to
work, all the machines must be in sync...  So as long as you created an AD
domain, you're already doing this.

Since we're going to do it from all our AD servers anyway, I see no point in
running more time servers.  I always configure all machines, windows, mac,
linux, and solaris alike to sync up to our AD servers, which in turn sync to
the 'Net.  Well ... I don't configure the windows clients per se...  because
they're automatic...

My preference is for AD servers to sync to us.pool.ntp.org, and everything
else sync to the AD servers.
