Before you reset the time have a look at what the stock market is doing and make some really informed buying decisions. Perhaps, considering how things are today you might just want to stay in the future.

I like it so much I replaced my own home-grown written program with it. It's small, extremely accurate, and reliable. You can set it to run every xx minutes, stay resident, run only at boot and exit, whatever you want. And it's absolutely free. </plug off> http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/index.html At 02:16 PM 3/27/2003, Colbeck, Andrew wrote: > I had a program that checked a time server every day to keep the time > accurate.

Use: net time /setsntp:tick.ucla.edu net stop w32time net start w32time and you're in business. WNT and W2K can both use the (totally different) w32time.exe and w32time.ini from the NT Server Resource Kit. For dollars, my favourite is the inexpensive shareware Tardis2000 from HC Mingham-Smith at: http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/ Run a NTP server internally against an internet source, and then provide it to your servers and clients, either with a time service, or by putting a net time \\server /set /yes line in your login scripts. You can also use "net time" in your login scripts to obtain the time from the NT Domain. DHCP also allows you to publish a time server, but Windows DHCP clients ignore that feature. And of course, tick.ucla.edu is not the only time source on the Internet. There's probably a source that is "near" you that is a public source. Use more than one. Here's one page that is a useful list: http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ntp.html Andrew 8) --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
