I used w32tm instead of net time. I don't know what was going wrong, but if w32tm works, I am happy. With you both being the only ones to assist, I'll bump up my points and share them between you.<br />
<br />
Cheers people.

Hi<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading my problem.<br />
<br />
I am trying to synchronise the time on a standalone Win2k server, which is in its own workgroup, to a domain.<br />
<br />
I use the following commands:<br />
<br />
net time /setsntp:123.123.123.123<br />
net time /set<br />
<br />
where 123.123.123.123 is the IP address of the domain controller. With this I get 'Could not locate a time-server.'<br />
<br />
So instead I tried:<br />
<br />
net time /domain:domainname<br />
<br />
where 'domainname' is obviously the name of the domain I am trying to sync time with. With this I get 'System error 5 has occured. Access is denied'.<br />
<br />
Any ideas how this is supposed to work? I looked on microsofts site. I found HEAPS of info, but it all told me that timesyncing from non-domain members didn't use authentication.<br />
<br />
Clues?

Synchronisation Time on Standalone Server to the Domain

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
