Hi, I want to add a time sync line to my batch file, using a local named computer [\\Asf-2]. I thought this should work: >echo y|net time \\Asf-2 /set But I get this output: Current time at \\Asf-2 is 7/15/2005 11:20 AM The current local clock is 7/15/2005 11:20 AM Do you want to set the local computer's time to match the time at \\Asf-2? (Y/N) [Y]: No valid response was provided. So the pipe command isn't working in this situation... it does in this situation though: >echo.|time The current time is: 11:22:28.34 Enter the new time: > Which is exactly the behavior I want for the first situation. Any ideas/workararounds/other ways to sync time to a local machine (not a server or internet time). Tx R

net time \\Asf-2 /set /y M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Tx - works great. Where would I find documentation for that -- it doesn't show up in net time /? R

Hi Rusty, Yeah, it sure doesn't show in help. Another case of winders "help" LOL. I just kept typing in different stuff until I got it to work. As ever, old age and treachery prevail over youth and enthusiasm. M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
