Synchronize Local Time With Scripting

Local Time Synchronizing with scripting

Following scripting will allow you to change your local time and synchronize with your server. Below scrip will help to local time and synchronize with your server; copy script to notepad and save .bat and run

@Echo Off

CLS ; Clears the screen

Set myserver=ServerName

Echo Syncing the time with %myserver%…

Net Time \\%myserver% /set /yes

If %errorlevel% NEQ 0 CLS && Goto Domain

CLS && Echo Sync Successful

Goto End

:domain

Echo Searching the local domain for a time-server…

Net Time /set /yes

If %errorlevel% EQU 0 CLS && Echo Sync Successful && Goto End

CLS && Echo Time Sync Error

:End

Here, myserver is a variable containing the name of the time source server; NEQ is the “not equal to” operator; and && allows you to run a second command after the first has completed.

Synchronizing the local system to a central time source allows you to perform enterprise-wide tasks simultaneously. The basic syntax to synchronize the local clock with a specified time source is as follows:

Net Time \\server/commands

Here, \\server is the name of the time source server to sync with. This parameter is only necessary when syncing with a specific server. If this parameter is omitted (Net Time), the system will search the local domain for a time source server. /commands are any of the following parameters:

• /SET—Sets the local time to the time source server
• /Y—Forces to sync the time with the server specified, regardless of whether the server is a time source server or not
• /DOMAIN:domainname—Searches the specified domain for a time source server
