syncronizing clocks on network?

[jman01pa]

What is the best way to syncronize clocks on a network.

I made a batch file with the following

net time \\[computer name] /set

This works but i would like it to be automatic. Even if I put it in the startup I have to answer yes to the prompt. I cant remember how to build that into the batch file. I know there is an easier way.

I have a computer with a bad clock chip. Loses hours a day.

Oh yea. I have Win2000 and Win Nt and Win 98. The bad clock is with WinNT

There is a little application that will synchronize your server with an atomic clock on the internet and in turn send out a time signal broadcast to the rest of your network. The clients use the same application to pick up the time signal ftom your server and to automagically update their internal clocks. It is called YATS32 and I have it working on NT4 & win2k. http://www.dilobits.com

Network Time Protocol. Search for ntp or xntpd.

we use the net time command as part of the login script on a NT network...
