Q: Getting date & time from the NTserver 

How do i get the system date & time from the server?

A: 
the best I can come up with is a trick I used on a window for 
workgroups network: make use of the command NET. The syntax would be 
something like
Net Time \\servername /SET /YES
You can do it in a batch-file or with the vb-command SHELL.



I found also some API-calls:


- SetSystemTimeAdjustment: "win32 makes it possible for the internal system clock to be 
synchronized to an external source...."

- SetSystemTime: "sets the current system time"


But I did not get it to work... Connecting to the "external source" 
is not very clear to me. Perhaps you can work it out? BTW I don't have (yet) NT either..
