The simple answer is to hard code the name of the machine you want to use
for network time into the script you are calling the command from...
e.g.
net time \\mypdc.mydomain.com /set

it seems like the net time command does not care about ntp service at all
but
queries the first alphabetical computer on a local subnet. Does your
proxy's
NetBIOS name comes before your PDC name?

Subject: net time
I have an interesting situation.
Environment: NT4 Domain, W2K Pro workstation. PDC (NT4, SP6) set to be the
time server via "NET TIME /SETSNTP:PDC" at the workstation (verified via
/querysntp)
The PDC is running Windows Time Service (w32time) and is set as an NTP
server. It gets its time from a proxy server (W2KS) which has it's time
updated from NIST.
Anyway, at the W2KP station, if you type "net time /set" it points to the
proxy server. Why? If you enter "net time /domain /set" it points to the
PDC as well as when you do the /querysntp.
All I can think of is that the "net time /set" command sees the ntp service
on the proxy server and reports connection to it. Why is it not going to
the PDC like it is told to do?
