I used ntp protocol in an internet scenario
but remote machine must provide you this service;
in this case you can open a tcp connection (port 123)
and retrieve date and time.
Do you like some code?

You can use Javascript to get the current datetime... and post the time
back to the server.

Of course during the post, there will be a slight delay.

Hi M.A.,

FYI, We are using SNTP protocol.
Is there a dos command which will return remote machine date and time?

security issue?
