Syncing all network computer clocks 1

[itjeff]

What is the easiest way to sync all the computers on my network with the server clock?

 

[Klae]

install the Time server on DHCP?

You don't even need to do that - time server just updates that clock to one on the Net.

Use net time /set /yes \\servername which will set the workstation time to the server. Ensure that server is set correctly...

Yeah thats right it's been a little time since I moved from IT admin to programming, my memory's going! And if you didn't know itjeff, you put the command Zelandakh said into your login.bat file(s) so it sets every time a user logs on.

Is there any way to run that command more often that at each boot up. Just curious for my own information, I can't see why you would need to synch more often that once a day, but you never know what sombody may want.

Sure, use the AT command. First, make sure the "Schedule" service is set to start automatically and started. Then type from a command prompt:

at 04:00 /EVERY:M,T,W,Th,F "net time \\server /set /y"

(substitute your time reference server for the word "server&quot. This causes the time to sync at 4am every weekday.

Hope this helps...
