I want to synchronize time between a computer with a server.
The server is not a domain controller. I have tried some softwares but it just apply to computers that already joined a Domain controller.

Please help me?

I had tried that command.
An error issued:
"System error 5 has occured
access denied"
How to fix it?

by rob miners

got the right permissions to run it.

The local system policies must specifically grant the named user time setting rights or the time sync will fail.

Dear Mr Jacky Howe,
I ran the command line by local administrator.
How to grant the named user time setting rights in The local system policies ?

Press the winkey + r and type secpol.msc and press Enter.

Navigate to Local Policies, User Rights Assignment and in the right hand pane you will see Change the system time.

You will have to use an account that has access to the file server.
