Just expanding on this a little... - If you do "net time" or "net time \\servername", you'll request time via netbios. Works fine against e.g. a samba server that gets its time from somewhere else (NTP?). - You can also do "net time /SETSNTP:my.ntpserver.mydomain.com" and start the "Windows Time" service; it'll poll from the given NTP server periodically. (I think the "Windows Time" service will automagically poll via netbios if started without setting the name of an NTP server, but don't quote me on that.) -- Mikael Olsson, Clavister AB Storgatan 12, Box 393, SE-891 28 ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK, Sweden Phone: +46 (0)660 29 92 00 Mobile: +46 (0)70 26 222 05 Fax: +46 (0)660 122 50 WWW: http://www.clavister.com _______________________________________________ LogAnalysis mailing list LogAnalysisat_private http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis
