net time as scheduled task 1

[plip1978]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with a network time sync.

I currently have a scheduled task with sc.exe and the variables w32time task_started. However, I want to sync to a specific server. I am able to do this from the cmd line using > net time \\servername /set /yes, but I can't work out how to set this working under a scheduled task.

Can anyone help?

thanks,
Phil

You can do it a couple of ways.

The "old skool" way is to create a batch file and have the scheduled task run that

Otherwise, there is a cool (old) program called TARDIS to keep time on your PC

Thanks, I thought I might end up writing a batch file.
