Incorrect Time Is Displayed When You Run the Net Time Command

ID: Q176210

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the NET TIME command to display the time on a specific remote computer, the time displayed may be incorrect.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because when you use the NET TIME \\<servername> command to display the time on a remote computer, the result displayed is obtained by applying local time settings to the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on the remote computer. This behavior can occur if, for example, the time zone and daylight savings time settings on the remote and local computers are different.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.51 and 4.0.
