Synchronizing Time on Workstations

[ClintDaddy]

We have an NT network and we know that there is a way, but we arent sure of the exact syntax to do it. We want to include a command in the client's login script that will set their system time and date to the system time and date of the server. Any ideas.

Try this:

NET TIME [\\computer | /WORKGROUP:wgname] [/SET] [/YES]

computer Specifies the name of the computer (time server) whose time you want to check or synchronize your computer's clock with.

/WORKGROUP Specifies that you want to use the clock on a computer (time server) in another workgroup.

wgname Specifies the name of the workgroup containing a computer whose clock you want to check or synchronize your computer's clock with. If there are multiple time servers in that workgroup, NET TIME uses the first one it finds.

/SET Synchronizes your computer's clock with the clock on the computer or workgroup you specify.

/YES Carries out the NET TIME command without first prompting you to provide information or confirm actions.

Without the /YES it will stop your login and prompt you for a Y every time.

setting the w/s time on NT is an admin right or an advanced user right. if you want all users to be able to set the time, grant the local users group(which has the domain users group in it) the advanced right to set the system time.
