Hi guys,
I am sitting on a network with +- 50 computers and I have to make sure that
all these computers have the exact same date settings. Now, being a
programmer I always look for ways to automate my job. Has anyone please got a
script for me to do all these computers in one go. Be much appreciated.

Write a batch file containing the command

NET TIME \\computer /SET /YES (replace computer with the name of the
computer you want to synch to).

Put that batch file (or a shortcut to it) in the startup folder of each of
the other computers on the network.

Thanks Ken but no, I was hoping to skip the part of visisting each computer
individually. You see once I set the date formats on these computers they
stay like that. The users don't fiddle with those settings. Thanks anyway for
your response.

But you can still use Ken's suggestion if you put that in a logon script.
It's kept on the DC so you don't have to visit each PC (I'm assuming the 50+
PCs authenticate to a Windows domain).
