Synchronizing Time on Win 2000 Server

Well you would imagine that the Win 2000 Server would know what time it is. Well if you tell it what time it is, it will know, but you don’t want to go on telling it every week, just to make sure it is still in sync. So, there are a few little services wich will do that for you.

Lets open the cmd shell and type:

net time /querysntp

… if nothing is set up there won’t be much output. So go surf in the internet and pick yourself a time server which is near you. Let’s say you find sntp.atomictime.com.

Now we need to tell your server that this is the machine wich we are going to adjust the time to.

net time /setsntp:sntp.atomictime.com

or if you feel better about having two or more time servers available do the following:

net time /setsntp:"sntp.atomictime.com another.clock.org"
