>can i get the date and time generated by the dos command,
net time \\domainserver1 ???
I assume the command sends output to the screen. You might redirect this command to a text file:
net time \\domainserver1 > timefile.txt
and then parse this file.
An option I have used to get the date and time, is to create a temporary file on the server, and get its date/time. The file will be created with the date/time of the server, not the user's machine. I don't know whether this applies to all combinations of NOS and workstations. I tried it with Windows NT server, and Windows 95 / 98 workstations.
