Re: client computers not same time as server

I had a similar problem when I first arrived at this site and fixed it with
this combination of commands:

I have a small script on my server with the command in it:

net time \\dserver /domain:[mydomain] /rtsdomain:[ipnumber of time server]
/set

This is scheduled to execute once a day, early in the morning before any
users arrive at work.

I also have in my SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat the command:

net time \\SBS_server /set /y

So that when they log in, their PC's time is put in synch with the server's.

cheers

Brian
