Windows Time Syncronization over network

[Mohan]

We have couple of system(PC's) connected over network in a
plant, there is no client and server configuration. We did
time syncronization using the "net set" command. After
some days the timings are diffirent on diffirent pc
eventhough we syncronized using net command. Please could
you help us how to syncronize the times on PC's over
network.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Mohan

You haven't mentioned the OS you are running.
First, decide which PC is going to be authoritative.
Second, write your command in a batch file and test it.
Schedule time sync at a period which gives you the result you want by using
the task scheduler. schedule running of the batch file every day, every 6
hours, whatever.

Hi Mohan - I highly recommend NetTime here: http://nettime.sourceforge.net/
The nice thing about it is that it will automatically check 140 or so
servers, find those that are working, pick the "best" five for you, update
your time automatically at your designated interval by comparing all five
and has provision for updating other computers on a local net. Or you can
individually test and select the five to be used from servers around the
world. You can use it to either automatically set the time in your tray or
to do so manually. I tried out a number of time set programs, and this is
far-and-away the best. Regards, Jim Byrd
