you can use this in your script in place of nd.exe:
:: Display current time
NET TIME \\%computername% | findstr "Current"
for /f "tokens=6-11 delims=/:. " %%a in ('net time \\%computername%') do (
(set month=%%a) & (set day=%%b) & (set year=%%c)
(set hh=%%d) & (set min=%%e) & (set AMorPM=%%f)
)
:: combine all variables to give the required DATEVAR, add %hh% and %mm% for
hour/min
set datevar=%year%%month%%day%
echo Date/time variable is %datevar%
then use a ren statement to rename imailreg.bkp to imailreg_%datevar%.bkp or
whatever
