How to sync time to a NTP server?

[zener]

I have a server using Win2k server which I want to synchronize the date/time with our NTP server (named "orion") once a day. How do I do it? The instructions for w32tm are rather difficult for me to follow. Thanks for any advice.

net time /?

I want to sync the date/time of my PC with the date/time provided by the NTP server. Not the net time.

Perhaps we should all google it? This was something like link 2 or 3 MS Knowledge base

And FYI, net time uses, or can use NTP.

If you would have actually tried it you would have seen:

C:\>net time /?
The syntax of this command is:


NET TIME [\\computername | /DOMAIN[: domainname] | /RTSDOMAIN[: domainname]] [/SET
]
[\\computername] /QUERYSNTP
[\\computername] /SETSNTP[:ntp server list]

W32time is what you really what to use if you want to automate it.

The command is

net time /setsntp:<servername>

After that, stop and restart the W32time service and the time will synch and stay synched.

Ok, after I run the command :
net time /setsntp: Orion

How do I stop and start the w32tm time service?

type:
net stop w32time
then:
net start w32time
