Setting the time on a network

[Thomas]

Is there a simple way to calibrate/configure all the
clocks on a network? I thought I could just run NTP. I
found a public NTP server and ran the command C:\> net
time /setsntp:192.4.41.40
but I got a list of more commands needed. Obviously I'm
missing something, but what is it??

Thanks!

In a domain, configure an authoritative time server.
See tips 2669 and 5414 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

You can set a clients clock in a login script (if they have the right to change
time)

net time %logonserver% /set /yes
