The least safe approach is to use logon scripts, as you must use alternate
credentials which exposes the administrator password. If you have no
connections to Internet, another approach might be to run a script yourself
(as a member of local Administrators group on each computer) that connects
to each computer remotely and synchronizes the time. Even here, however, it
would be better to have each computer automatically synchronize with one
reliable computer in the workgroup, so they all agree.
