Hi

I doubt if this can be achieved using MCX in WorkGroup Manager. What you can do is use ARD's Send UNIX Command feature. Something like:

systemsetup -setnetworktimeserver whateverthetimeserveripaddressornameis

Another way of doing this is to take one mac, configure it exactly as you want it, fully patched with desired common settings defined in System Preferences etc and image it to the Server. 'Sys Prep' it first. 'Pull' the image to the remainder of the workstations with NetBoot.

HTH?
