Turn off W32Time?

[Laurie Louis]

Does anyone know a way to turn off the windows time synchronization
service called W32Time on Windows 2000 workstations? Some of our Windows
2000 workstations keep looking for this service on our NT domain
controller, then when they can't find the service, it drops the network
connection to the server. Then the workstation is unable to access the
internal network, most importantly, networked printers.We do not want to
activate W32Time on our NT server. Based on information in the event
viewer on individual workstations, I know how to clear/reset the W32Time
errors on the PC, but for some machines, it's a chronic issue, so I
would like to turn off or disable this service. Any input would be
appreciated. Thanks.
