Time synchronization

For Microsoft Active Directory domain environments, use the links from the nist.gov website and sync your PDC Emulator to a second tier public timeserver.  I have had some of the time servers remember my IP address and refuse connections for 24 hours, so go easy on the update frequency.  For peer-to-peer networks (no server or windows domain), I'll use one of these on ONE computer and write a login script to sync time to it for the other computers.

Corporate Firefox users
http://sourceforge.net/projects/firefoxadm "FirefoxADM is a way of allowing centrally managed locked and/or default settings in Firefox via Group Policy and Administrative Templates in Active Directory".  I have not used this, but it has a lot of info on managing Firefox on a network.
