Doc Symbiosis Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm wondering, if it is possible with a PC running Windows XP to synchronize time from the internet, without having a personal server, which does this?I've searched a long time and came to the conclusion, that only server versions of windows can do this. Is this really so?Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Double click the Time in the lower right hand of your desktop.Select the Tab "Internet Time" and make sure "Automatically synchronize with an Internet time Server"it is checked.

Davor Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I've searched a long time and came to the conclusion, that only server versions of windows can do this. Is this really so?No, it doesn't have to be windows. NTP is a RFC-standard so can be implemended in any platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm sorry, that I've expressed so unclear, but I meant, how do I synchronize the time through command line.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalfrost Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 You could also use T-Clock. Works even with Windows Time Service removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 When I use net time /setsntp:x.x.x.x and then run net timme /set, I always get the errror massage "Could not locate a time-server". I tried with different ntp-servers.I don't want to use tclock, because I can't run from commandline and I only want to synchronize the time once, because later the most PCs are moved to domain. Just have to do this once to connect to a networkshare through commandline to automatically install software and the connecting only is possible, when the time has less than five minutes difference to the server.

Yzöwl Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Can you not just usenet time \\computername /set /yeswhere computername is the name of the computer carrying the installation software. All times will then match the machine with which they are communicating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
