Idea : One Shot System Time Sync

MilesAhead:
Just to be sure, did you try Cmdtime from here?:  http://www.softshape.com/download/cmdtime.zip

I've used it for years but, as you said, it might be blocked.  If that doesn't work, I'll see what I can put together.

I don't think I can get there from here.  All servers I try return either "cannot reach the time server" or "permission denied."

It is not the end of the world if I have to type the time command into a command prompt.  But if you made something that looked good that would be preferable.   :Thmbsup:

For computername you can try a server on the local network and hopefully get one that hasn't got an exceptionally paranoid firewall.

Something must have happened when they installed new equipment or something.  Logging into my web site control panel used to work fine over the WiFi.  Now I have to get on one of the wired machines to log in.  Fortunately my site is pretty stable now.  I do not have to update it often.

Edit: apparently there is a Linux utility called htpdate that gets the time from the headers of web pages specifically for use when ntp port 123 is blocked.  I looked around but could not find any Windows port of it less than 10 years old.

Ten years old is fine if they still work, eh?  Did you try any of them?

I found a recend win32 version here:
http://www.rkeene.org/devel/htp/win32/stable/

It seems to work ok from and admin command prompt.  I downloaded the exe with the highest version number, and scanned it with VirusTotal.  Then I renamed it to simply htpdate.

For those interested this command line worked for me:
htpdate www.timeanddate.com  set

Then I go on the wb to
Time.is
and it tells me how close my clock is to the time server.

I guess I can do an ahk to run it without showing the command prompt.

Just for grins, here's an AHK solution that uses http://www.timeapi.org but doesn't use any third-party executables.


--- Code: Autohotkey ---; Set timezone value to your timezone.myTimeZone := "CDT" myTempFile := A_ScriptDir . "\~" . A_Now . ".txt"URLDownloadToFile, http://www.timeapi.org/%myTimeZone%/, % myTempFileFileRead, myTime, % myTempFileFileDelete, % myTempFile ; Sample output: 2016-05-25T13:24:22-06:00RegExMatch( myTime, "^(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)T(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)", myMatch ) ; Sample matches:; myMatch1 = 2016; myMatch2 = 05; myMatch3 = 25; myMatch4 = 13:24:22 ; Set the date.Run, %COMSPEC% /C date %myMatch2%-%myMatch3%-%myMatch1%, , Hide ; Set the time.Run, %COMSPEC% /C time %myMatch4%                      , , Hide
