SUMMARY
This article describes the use of the Windows for Workgroups NET TIME command under versions 3.1 and 3.11.



Using NET TIME Under Windows for Workgroups Version 3.1
The NET TIME command can be used in Windows for Workgroups 3.1 only if you have a LAN Manager version 2.0 or 2.1 server installed as a secondary network. This command synchronizes the clocks of computers in a workgroup to a LAN Manager server that has a shared clock.(If there is no shared clock, you can't use the NET TIME command.)

To synchronize the clocks of all the computers in a workgroup with a shared clock on a LAN Manager server, type the following at an MS-DOS command prompt

net time /workgroup:

where is the workgroup on which you want the clocks to be synchronized.

For information about how to share a clock on a LAN Manager server or peer workstation, see the &quot;LAN Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.&quot;

Using NET TIME Under Windows for Workgroups Version 3.11
Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 allows you to synchronize your computer's clock with a Windows NT, or LAN Manager server (with a shared clock) using the NET TIME command. For specific instructions, type net time /? at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
