This article was previously published under Q176210 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.
