net time [\\computername] /setsntp[:ntp server list]

Options

None

A display of the current date and time on the time server

\\computername

/domain[:domainname]

The domain where the time server resides

Examples

Synchronize the clock on the local machine with time server

BACH :

net time \\bach /set
Current time at \\bach is 6/26/2003 11:18 PM
The current local clock is 6/26/2003 11:16 PM
Do you want to set the local computer's time to match 
the time at \\bach? (Y/N) [Y]: y
The command completed successfully.

Verify that the previous command worked:

net time
Current time at \\TEST is 6/26/2003 11:18 PM
The command completed successfully.

Notes

• Synchronization of clocks is important for activities such as
  directory replication to function properly. (Updates are timestamped
  to resolve collisions.)

• Use net time
  \\timeserver
  /set /yes in a logon script to
  synchronize the clocks of all machines with
  timeserver, which should have a reliable
  clock itself.

• /s no longer works for /set as
  it did in Windows NT.
