Hello,
I am working on a Windows 2000 image for our public
ReSEARCH stations in our library and I am having some
troubles with setting up a time server and having the
machines sync with it. I can setup a sntp server but when
I type 'net time' I get the following error:

System Error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

I also get the same error if I type 'net time
\\servername /set', I am running some group policies on
this machine and I am trying to do this while logged on as
Administrator. Any help correcting this problem would be
great. Thanks,

Ryan

If you set up a time server, then you don't need the "net time" command for
Windows 2000 clients. If you are running an AD domain, then they should get
the time from the DCs automatically. If you're not running an AD domain,
then you can use

net time /setsntp:<servername>

on the client machines to tell them where to get the time from.

HTH,

Bill
