System Time

I have a group of systems that log into a workgroup not a domain. I need
these workstations to get the system time from an internal server that is not
a PDC or BDC. Does anyone know how to do this? I have struck out on
microsoft.com
 
The latter is invalid. It's like saying 'self set clock to self'. Try;

NET TIME \\serverIP /SET /Y

Where \\serverIP is the ip address of the time keeper.

Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled in your TCP properties?
Is the browser service started on all computers?
 
I finally figured it out. The Server in question must be configured as a SNTP
server. Then the following commands work just fine.

C:\NET TIME /SETSNTP:127.0.0.1

C:\NET STOP W32TIME

C:\NET START W32TIME
