It's not a real problem. There are a number of ways of getting the desired result, which is to sync up the time on the remote computer (which cannot connect to the NIST server or any other time service) but what I'm looking for is a simple way to run a script/program on the local computer to set the time based on the local time. Not a big deal, as the remote time doesn't drift that much.

I used to do it very easily and I'm surprised it isn't included as a sub-function of net or somewhere in the Power Shell. At least, I can't find it. I was hoping someone else would know of the way without requiring buying/developing more hardware/software, etc.

A year from now, if the time has drifted by more than a few minutes, I can always log onto it remotely and apply the net command in reverse. I can also drive my car backwards by sitting in the back seat and connecting ropes to the steering wheel ... I used to be able to do it from the front seat and I was hoping you guys knew how that worked.
