Synchronize time at startup

[Rolfie]

Hi, are there any fixes to make Windows XP automatically
synchronize time with an internet time server when the
computer boots up, without using any third party program?

Rolfie,

I'm not sure if that can done with XP's native application, but I'm quitw
sure third party apps. may.

Please be aware of the opportunity to use Task Scheduler to run a bat
file at boot time.

Bob I:

Nice feature catch. Is there a similar client sync interface for a
Win2.3 server and/or win2K clients using workgroups (no A/D) ?

And this would indicate that the XP one applies to 2003 also:

Error message when you run the "w32tm /resync" command to synchronize
Windows Server 2003 or Windows SBS to an external time source: "The
computer did not resync because no time data was available"
