Hi,

Im wondering if anyone could tell me how I can synchronise NT Workstations 4.0 to NT Server 4.0 when workstations start up.

Our organisation records live audio from court proceedings so having all workstations displaying the same time as the server is quite important.

I look forward to hearing from anyone.

Regards

Melissa Sue

You'll need the NT 4 Resource kit for that.

Lookup
Time Synchronizing Service (Y2K) (Timeserv.exe )

There's a bunch of other tools included in the resource kit,.

MSKB article regarding timeserv.exe

Alternately, this is native in Win2k and above.

Thanks for that. But how do I go about getting a copy of this resource kit? It is exactly what we need.

Alternatively, you can add a line to the logon script as follows:

NET TIME \\SERVERNAME /SET /YES

You'll have to make sure that each user has the necessary rights to change the clock though.

Timeserv is ok but overkill, but use the Net Time command in login script which is the method we use.
