Logon Script - Synchronizing Time with a Nt 4.0 PDC

Author	Message
Eric Lun #1 / 5	Logon Script - Synchronizing Time with a Nt 4.0 PDC I am developing a login script that includes synchronizing the local users clock with our PDC(NT4). We used to do this using a batch file, however I am hoping that someone can shed some light on how to accomplish this using our VBScript through the WSH. I would prefer not having to call on our existing batch file to run to do this but rather doing it entirely through the script if possible. Any help out there for a busy sysadmin? Eric :)

Eric Lun #3 / 5	Logon Script - Synchronizing Time with a Nt 4.0 PDC Hi Tom, that's what I was thinking about using but wondering if there was a different function :) Thanks for your help Eric Quote: > > I am developing a login script that includes synchronizing the local > > users clock with our PDC(NT4).

Manfred Brau #4 / 5	Logon Script - Synchronizing Time with a Nt 4.0 PDC Hi All, one annotation:If the client is NT, the "normal" user don't have the privilege to set date and time. One has to be admin or member of the "power users" group (at least so far as I remember). For that reason, we always use the timeserv from the NT Resource Kit (a service must be installed by admins, so we put it in the inital installation). Best regards, Manfred Braun (Private) Lange Roetterstrasse 7 D68167 Mannheim Germany (Remove the anti-spam-underscore to mail me!)

Eric Lun #5 / 5	Logon Script - Synchronizing Time with a Nt 4.0 PDC Hi Manfred, nearly all our clients are Win9x stations, only 20 are win2k and they have power user access and the script does appear to work Eric Quote: > Hi All, > one annotation:If the client is NT, the "normal" user don't have the > privilege to set date and time.
