Dear all,
I've the problem with time at client PC. The user can change it. In the past I've use the Netware and the client PC will get the time from File Server but on Windows how can I do that.
Regards,
Dutch

Dutch,
in XP: Control Center/ Date and Time/ Internettime
I hope I translated the german expressions correct
or
net time /setsntp:<timeserver>

At my office, here's how I set it up. Set the lan server to sync its time with one of those public time server while workstations are set to sync with the lan server. On my XP machine, I inserted this in autoexec.nt,
Code: Select all
net time \\LanServerName /set /yes

The problem with Windows built-in time setting is that it only sets the time once a week. I have seen computers that loose several minutes in a week.
I have free software scheduled, using the Windows scheduler, that sets the time once a day. You can get the software here:

This software is provided by the US Gov. I don't know if it is limited to US time zones or not.

James,
you can set this parameter in the registry
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient\SpecialPollInterval
Reg_DWORD
Dezimal
poll intervall in Seconds (86400 = 1d)
