Well I just put in NET TIME at a command prompt and got back the time from my domain controller.

C:\Documents and Settings\Plater>net time
Current time at \\DSERVER is 5/25/2007 9:33 AM

The command completed successfully.

So what is the issue you are having?

You can use the System.Manageme nt WMI stuff.

In your .Net documenation:

Search "Advanced Programming Topics in WMI .NET " and check out the "How To: Connect to a Remote Computer"

Then lookup the WMI topics
- Win32_LocalTime to develop and use a "Select * from Win32_LocalTime " WMI query.
- "WMI Update Query Language" to form an update query to change the time.

So just run that code in your program then? Or use the WMI if you want to learn it

try command

net time /set \\servername

You can get it by using below code without WMI usage (http://www.morgantechspace.com/2013/...tem-using.html)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace RemoteSystemTime
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                string machineName = "vista-pc";
                Process proc = new Process();
                proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                proc.StartInfo.FileName = "net";
                proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"time \\" + machineName;
                proc.Start();
                proc.WaitForExit();

                List<string> results = new List<string>();

                while (!proc.StandardOutput.EndOfStream)
                {
                    string currentline = proc.StandardOutput.ReadLine();

                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(currentline))
                    {
                        results.Add(currentline);
                    }
                }

                string currentTime = string.Empty;

                if (results.Count > 0 && results[0].ToLower().StartsWith(@"current time at \\" + machineName.ToLower() + " is "))
                {
                    currentTime = results[0].Substring((@"current time at \\" +
                                  machineName.ToLower() + " is ").Length);

                    Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Parse(currentTime));
                    Console.ReadLine();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}
