As a matter of fact, I did RTFM. ;-D I read the HP Toolkit Users Guide as well as doing numerous searches. However, there is no utility that I could find that allows setting the BIOS time from WinPE. I find it odd that I can change the BIOS time from DOS or any version of Windows using the "net time" command, but it is disabled in WinPE. I really need to be able to synchronize my BIOS time from a Windows PE session, so hopefully someone knows a way to do it natively, or knows of a utility that can do it. After doing some additional searches, I just found this post on TechNet: Matt Davis -- MSFT (Moderator): Q: WinPe Changes: Thank you very much. And what are the limitations? Is it true that for example the net time command like net time /set does not work anymore because of the new limits? Net time works fine in older versions of winpe and fails in pe2005 A: Yes, net time will not work in WinPE 2005. This actually should not have worked previously. It is a limitation of WinPE that was supposed to be in-place in the past. I sure hope there is a hack that will help me get around this limitation. By disabling this ability, M$ just created another hurdle, rather than making life easier.
