How do I initiate a time sync command to a remote computer?

I am a domain admin. When I use psexec to trigger the command to a remote computer via IP or hostname, I get the following error shown in the screenshot. Am I initiating the proper psexec command? The remote systems that I am targeting are Windows XP.

try w32tm.exe instead and see if that runs the command.

That command worked! I am remotely connected to that machine. However, can you tell me if I am running the time sync command properly by looking at the screenshot?

I would check your remote system.  I'm not certain about WinXP.  I verified the command works just fine to a remote Win7 system.
PsExec.exe \\computer w32tm /resync

Open in new window


Have you verified that you can run the command locally on that machine?
