How can I get a Windows 2000 server date

[BB programmer]

Dear all,

I have an application which I don't want to use the client's pc system
date/time to update database fields, I want to get the date/time from my
Windows 2000 server instead. Can anyboby show me how to archieve this?

thanks!

hi,
Perhaps you can try to run NET TIME \\ServerName and grab the output, but
not sure this is a good idea. You can easy setup that all PCs' clock in
network get synchronized, and then problem will be solved
