I need to be able to synchronise the time on a number (say 10) of PC's with the time on a Server which they run Software from.

All the PC's are on a domain.

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers

If 2000 (known as NT5 if you're not using AD), go to a dos prompt on the w/s, type
NET TIME /SETSNTP:ip address of domain controller

Check the entry in HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\ Parameters

If it's NT4 you need to install the Time service that I think comes in the Resource Kit.

or in really basic form, you could mod the login scripts the set clients with:

net time \\servername /set /yes

Assuming that they have the rights to modify their own clock.

This utility is the danglies

Abouttime.exe :cool:

Install it on each PC & have it reference one particular server on the network for their time.

Install on the server & have that reference one of the Atomic Internet clocks (list included in .exe).

In that way, only one machince need have access to o/side world & all the rest take their time from it :D

Accurate to microsecs per year etc etc.

:)

Thanks for the replies.. I think Nicks is the ideal solution..

Does everything i need it to :D

dont you think its funny that a £1 watch from the market can keep time better than a 2 grand pc????

whats going on here???

It's not the fact that they lose time, They just all need to be the same time. I can't be arsed going round to them.. and if they do lose time , they'll be reset on reboot anyway :D (If that makes sense ;))
