I piti you if that means anything to you.

I've considered making AIX machines smbclient so it is managed by Active Directory and provide time sync service to the AIX machine, but not sure if this is possible.
Yes it is, Samba also runs on AIX, even as an installable bff-package from the Bull website. If Samba is able to synchronize the system time on AIX i don't know.

Anyway I also though about setting up an NTP server on the member windows machine ans use that machines system time as stratum 1 time server for the AIX machine.
That should work as far as the AIX machine is concerned. If it is possible to set the service up on a Windoze host i don't know.

I hope this helps.
