Believe it or else, I just "recently" "up"graded from W95-OSR2. Frankly,
the prior was *VASTLY* more stable and less troublesome, even when
running Interhose Exploder.

I recall something about a scheduler ("Agent?"). Could be set up to run
periodically from a .BAT file.

Also, found a similar reference on W2K, but allows for (S)NTP:

The syntax of this command is:

C:\> net time /?

NET TIME [\\computername | /DOMAIN[:domainname] |
/RTSDOMAIN[:domainname]] [/SET]
         [\\computername] /QUERYSNTP
         [\\computername] /SETSNTP[:ntp server list]

C:\> net time /setsntp:132.163.4.103

...worked for me. I'm looking for the scheduling agent now to see if I
can set it up to run at least once a day. Then, I'll see if I can
convince W2K to share that info with my W/9x machines if they issue a
NET TIME /SET command pointing to the W2K machine (so far, no luck
there).
