Graham- In W2K, if you run net time /setsntp: with no value after the colon, it will clear the NtpServer entry in the registry and change the service from NTP mode to NT5DS mode. Really simple script would be- net time /setsntp: net stop w32time net start w32time The pertinent registry values are: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters NtpServer : REG_SZ (optional) Used to manually configure the time source. Set this to the DNS name or IP address of the NTP server to synchronize from. You can modify this from the command line by using the net time command. Value is blank by default Type : REG_SZ Used to control how a computer synchronizes. Nt5DS = synchronize to domain hierarchy [default] NTP = synchronize to manually configured source NoSync = do not synchronize time List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
