Question on NET TIME command from workstation

[luvtopost]

I am trying to sync the time on my workstations with the server. So i
type in the command:

NET TIME \\SERVER /SET and it asks me Y or N to do it. I type in Y and
it does it. Question is if i reboot this workstation, will i have to
type this command again or will the server already remember it? I don't
want to type this in everytime if the workstation(XP) has to reboot for
some reason. Thanks.

There's no need to ever do it. Theey synch when the computer logs onto the domain.

I'm in a workgroup, not domain. Sorry about not telling you first.
Also, i have it automatically go into XP without logon prompt. This is
for a restaurant, not company. Will it still be ok? thanks.

It will use atomic clocks to get the time if the computer has internet access. Else you will have to type that every few months.

Hi,

To avoid the Y or N prompt, add /Y to the command line:

NET.EXE TIME \\SERVER /SET /Y
