is there a webservice for get the current time?

Hi All,

is there a webservice for get the current time?

I am looking to get the current time via a webservice and then set the time
of the server.

What kind of server are you using? Windows Servers can keep their own time
updated already.

You can find some sample Web services at Xmethods [1]. Check out the "full
list" link. There is, e.g., a WorldTime service. Of course there are no
guarantees about propagation time, etc.

Hi Scott,

That's assuming it works...if someone set it...etc

I need to force it...so that reports we generate on two different servers
are in sync

I was hoping for a time server that exposed a webservice for time

Hi Stuart,

Hmmm...interesting..but there are no public time servers that publish a
webservice?

Then who is going to "force" your service to run? Why not just set a GPO
for the servers that "force" them to adjust their time according to a time
server?

Set one of your servers to be the time server, and sync the other to this
one via your own time service
