Please log in for more thread options WinXP or 2k. The owner has asked about synchronizing their times (in general, not to the millisecond), and I'm rather clueless on the subject ( I didn't set up the network, and the admin is kinda clueless too). I tried using a "/net time //[server] /set /yes" batch file in the startup folder, but it occasionally locked-up the computer or disabled access to shared drives etc. Is there some simple way of doing this? Does the "Windows Time" service running in XP and 2k manage this itself? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options In a 2k active directory domain, the machines that are members of the domain should be synching time with the domain controller that it authenticates to. Nothing should need to be done on your part at all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Google for 'ntp' there is lot's of software and free servers "out there" There is also a newsgroup "comp.protocols.time.ntp" where all you never needed to know about ntp is discussed :-) -- Peter Håkanson IPSec Sverige ( At Gothenburg Riverside ) Sorry about my e-mail address, but i'm trying to keep spam out, remove "icke-reklam" if you feel for mailing me. Thanx. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
