Re: Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server.
You'll probably find that it's being updated by the local server (at least it should be) and that's why it keeps going off by a couple of mins. You should get the admin to set the server tiime rather than you local machine.
Re: Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server.
You'd use 'net time' from the command prompt (assuming it's a windows machine). But I wouldn't recomend having a different time from the server, it could cause authentication issues.
Re: Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server.
net time /? will give you all the options. Just net time will just update the time from the set time server (which going by 'Could not locate a time-server' you don't have one set)
Re: Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server.
Well really you shouldn't need too. Most modern computers are fairly accurate at keeping the time. Which suggests it's being set elsewhere, and since your on a network with a server that'd be the most logical answer. Also like I said you should be getting the time from the server (not the internet) anyway. That'd be the standard way to do it (you could keep the server at the correct time using the internet). Going by your net time response you don't have a time server set (that doesn't necessarily mean your not getting time from the server) which is what you'd have take out to stop your machine from updating from the server. If you don't have an admin who looks after/sets up the server?
