SBS2003: time difference between the client and the server

My Win2000-clients were succesfully joined to a domain controlled by a Win
SBS 2003 server. However, when they want to logon they get the message:
"cannot connect: There is a time difference between the client and the
server". The server is time synched with an external NTP-server. Connecting
the client via http://server/ConnectComputer is refused somehow by IIS.

On the time-error there is a KB-article, but it is not applicable or useful
for SBS 2003

Does anyone have a clue to resolve this?

As well as checking the time and date on the client, check that it is set
to the same timezone (including daylight saving setting).

Thanks Bill, but these basic things are identical on server and clients!
Date, Time, Timezone, Daylight saving, ... all identical, that's what is
irritating!

Odd. I have never seen that. You may have to monitor the network traffic
to see exactly what is happening if the event log doesn't show anything.
