Perhaps the response will give a clue. To set it: net time \\servername /set /yesThey use two completely different protocols.however, NET TIME /SETSNTP:ip-of-ntp-server WILL set the windows 'internet time' server IP. NET TIME /QUERYSNTP will show the current 'internet time' server(s).note that the default Windows NTP client is really braindead, it just 'sets' the system clock once a day, its not a proper NTP implementation. for most users, this is fine, but realize oddities can happen like the clock being set back a few seconds such that a given time happens twice.
I stand partially corrected, as the originally posted command line of "net time \\servername /set /yes" would not query a ntp server. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
