Is there a way to syncronise the clocks on all client computers from an NT 4.0 Server either when they log on or from a command line on the server?<br><br>Also, when a user deletes a file on the server through a mapped drive on his/her workstation it doesn't go to thier local recycling bin, so where does it go - if anywhere?

In a login script or startup batch file on the workstation do <b>net time &lt;\\server&gt; /set /yes</b> to set the time. (Another option is <b>net time /DOMAIN:&lt;domainname&gt; /set /yes</b> which will automatically locate the PDC and synchronize with that.)<br><br>Recycle Bin only works for local hard drives.&nbsp;&nbsp;When you delete files from a network drive they simply float into the bit bucket.&nbsp;&nbsp;Only recovery is from you backup tapes. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
 
For you deleted files on mapped drives, Check Executive Software Undelete program. It saves files deleted on the domain to it's local recycle bin even when done remotely.
