I have a Windows 2000 Server which show the correct date/time and I use it for time synchronization in our network.
- From a WinXP workstation, if I check the time with "net time \\server" command, all it's OK.
- From a WinNT workstation with the same command it show a different time (-1h).
What can be wrong?
Thank you.

check your local settings in the nt machine... double click time on nt to ensure it is set for east coast, central time,...etc.

Sorry to say that was the only thing that it could have been in my eyes. Had that problem also and that was it.

Good luck.

Mistake
If I use a WinNT4.0 server for time sinchronization:
- From WinNT workstation side it's OK
- From WinXP workstation side I have +1h

I am thinking also about to verify the timezones.

I don't think the option of "
Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" should have had any effect because the
time change has not been taken place yet.
Pls Check the eventviewer for me and let me know any messages.

Try a synchronization for the xp side check the results.

Try a reboot of the the server (just be safe)

I think that you need to 1 adjust the day time saving it on the nt 4 workstation too.
2: doing it again (second link)
3: reboot the nt 4 workstation.

after that if there are still any related messages in the event viewer let me know.

ALL COMPUTERS USE THE SAME TIME ZONE:
(GMT+02:00) Bucharest

HOW IS POSSIBLE THAT THE "NET TIME \\SERVER2000" COMMAND, REPORT TWO DIFFERENT TIME?
- IF I RUN THIS COMMAND ON WINXP -> 9:14
- IF I RUN THIS COMMAND ON WINNT -> 8:14

Leopold,
- Daylight saving time for Europe was applied at last Sunday of September
- Server and workstations were restarted
- I don't find any event related to this issue
