Get the time of a remote computer. How?

Hi,

I'd like to have a function returning the current time of a remote computer.
How could I do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

If the remote computer has a service that does it you are fine (IIRC windows
does not install a time server by default) if not you will have to write a
service that does it.

One simple option is to run the "net" utility like this:
net time \\machinename".
You can do this from C# using Process.Start.
