OT- Setting computer time

[BobTheWizard]

Have you guys seen this simple program for setting the time in your computer, provided by NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology). Nice program for setting computer time to the standard, to make sure my system is set the same as US and World times....

I'm not familiar with that one, but I use Atomic Clock Sync

I think XP has built in time synchronization if it is enabled.

Checking it out now No more arguments about what time it is

That is correct and it works very nicely.

Hey.. I like that one better. I've been using the other for awhile, and just switched. Great way to keep the computer, servers, etc. set on the correct time.

Thanks LyNx01!!!!!

At work we just use a log-in script to sync the PCs' time to the servers (among other things), and then I check the servers every week or two, when I think of it.

It's kind of funny..

At the University I attend, they replaced every clock, in every classroom with clocks that automatically synch with the atomic clock in Boulder (I think thats where it is). Great idea I thought

No two clocks on campus show the same time since they put them in.

why not use :
net time /setsntp:FQDN (FQDN is name for a ntp server near you) eg. ntp.XXX.com

Then check with
w32tm -v -once

If it works, set time service to run
net start "time service"

Go to service and set to automatically.
