You might want to run some portion of the NTP "suite" on it, and sync the
"Windows time" with that of one of the other servers on your network.

As BEA does distributed TP stuff, I will [evil grin] *assume* that they
know the criticality of having systems have their clocks synchronized, 
and have some NTP servers kicking around...

[Sabre didn't seem to "publicly" recognize this 'til recently; a web
page recently popped up on the internal internet telling how to get at
NTP software on the public Internet for a variety of platforms, and how
to sync off some now-publicized internal servers.  Bounce a note at me
at work and I can locate the Win32 versions...]
