Net Time sync on NT Server

[therook711]

I am trying to sync up the time from my PDC to the NT pc's and WIn98 machines on my network. I am using the simple command of net time, which works great for the NT pc's but not for my WIN98 users. Do any of you know of a quick fix or another utility to allow the sync to come from my PDC to the WIN98 users and NT pc's. Any help would be appreciated.

What errors are you getting with NET TIME?

Should work with Win9x clients:

NET TIME \\ServerName /SET /YES

or

NET TIME \\IP Address /SET /YES

Make sure that the server and the clients are in the correct time zone and have the same daylight saving mode set.

KiXtart has the SETTIME command but I expect that would work similar to net time.

No error message just not syncing.
THe WIN98 machines all have the correct global setting. The login script does execute as well...that's why i'm baffled.NET TIME \\ServerName /SET /Y is what i'm using.
Kixstart???

KiXtart (http://www.kixtart.org/) is a powerful scripting language.

As an alternative to NT's TIMESERV, there is Tardis (http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/). For others, see Time Synchronization Software (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/software.html).
