I'm in the need to find something that synchronize five the clock of 5 pc running with Dos as OS with anyone of my server present in my LAN. I have to insert this subroutine in some programs of dialog to industrial PLC. If there isn't a subroutine (part of code lines to insert in a program) I'm looking for an utility software to launch from the command prompt (i.e a batch script or so...).
Tks.
Andy

You can goto www.download.com and download a program called demension 4.0 run it on one computer. The best one to run is on the server if you have one. Then edit your logon script to net time each time your computer logons on. Next you can install the program onto each computer and have each cpu get the time or use the first idea but us the microsoft scheduler to run a batch file that contains the following and set it to run how often you wish.
The line that you should use in the logon script is:
net time \\(computer name) /set /yes

Use that line also in a batch file to schedule it on the other machines call it time.bat and then have it run about every hour.

you dont need a third party utility to sync your networks clocks - from a command line, just type:

net time \\servername /set /yes

on all the client machines (stick it in the login script, to sync every boot)
