MarcLaroche MarcLaroche Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-15 Posts: 5 Loc: Quebec	I would like to set the time at startup on each workstation on my network. I have many OS, win9x and win2k. Is it possible to do this with kixtart?

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	KiXtart has a "settime" command. On Windows NT, SETTIME requires the current user to have the ‘Change the system time’ privilege. For more information on running the Windows NT Time Source Service, see Knowledge Base article Q131715 (also available on TechNet). W2K should be using w32time time service. win9x client should use nettime.exe (Microsoft) if you have multiple time zones. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

I read the manual and it says: settime "domain_name" well, it sets it. but the machine it gets is not our time machine. it just seems to get the fastest answering machine or something. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	What is wrong with using KiXtarts SETTIME or 'SHELL '%COMSPEC% NET TIME /SET' ? For Windows NT/2000/XP, I highly recommend to install the W32TIME service and set up a master time server for the domain. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	jens, there is just the problem that the settime does not work. nothing else. if I put: settime "myDomain" i get time from linuxserver also using: net time /set does the same thing. but! using: net time /domain /set gives the time from different machine. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	BTW, On W2k/XP, you have W32Time built-in.. You do need a time server that "talks" with an Atomic Clock, however. If you need to install W32Time on NT 4, you can find the file here - ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/ResKit/y2kfix/x86/w32time/ Cheers!

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	but w32time is not needed on any clients as there is allready net time installed. you will need more rights to install it than using the net time. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
