System time from remote PC

[TCAlexander]

Is there a way to get the system time of another computer on my network? All of my PCs are running Windows XP. I want to write a small app where a user can visually verify the time on a remote PC running as a server and use it to manually set the time on their lab instrument.

Thanks!

hi
i wrote an application for an intern network
download TimeSync
to download TymeSyc
if you want the source let me know

That would be great. We actually have a group of 11 different Instrument Manager PCs that will keep the time of record. When calibrating the lab calibrates their clock on their instrument they will need to check the time for the appropriate PC. What I am considering is just a simple application that would allow the user to select which PC they want to check the time on and it would then display the time on that PC.

Thanks again!

hi again
the application i wrote runs a little different:
it uses a time-server and clients.
the program is started on the server first (a transmission time is set by the user on which the server spits out it's own system time) and runs in the background,
clients are to announce themselves to the server-pc.
the announced clients are kept in a listbox on the server.
the systemtime of all names in this list is updated on the server's transmission-time.
in fact time is synchronized on all computers
so you need only to check the workstation's systemtime to know another computer's systemtime.
