i can't seem to get the net time command to work.
can someone tell me exactly what to type in. i don't understand how to do it.
 
Client side:

NET TIME \\computername /set /y
computername = Time server
NET TIME \\win2k_DC /set /y


Server side:

NET TIME \\computername /SETSNTP:"NTP server list"
ex.: NET TIME \\computername /SETSNTP:ntp_list.txt
ex.: NET TIME \\computername /SETSNTP:127.0.0.1

 
You can get a list of ntp servers from the net, but here is the one we use:

net time /setsntp:ntp2d.mcc.ac.uk

Restart the windows time service.

Also make sure you allow port 123 UDP through your firewall. Chris Styles
