What you want is an implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
for Windows 2000.  Use Google to find one.  I'm sure there are a few.
Once you find one and set it up on the Windows 2000 "system," all you
have to do on the Sun box is:

1) Manually sync times between the machine

	# ntpdate [ host name of w2k ]

2) Edit ntp.conf so it contains just one line:

	server [ host name of w2k ]

3) Restart xntpd:

	# /etc/init.d/xntpd stop
	# /etc/init.d/xntpd start

NB: the script in /etc/init.d may be named ntp, ntpd, or xntpd.
There's not a Solaris system near to me right now, so I can't
verify this.

All of this assumes, of course, that you have the NTP packages
installed, whatever they are.
