Get Internet time

I have a Time Clock program that records employee date/time records. Employees are altering the Windows system clock and altering the resulting data records.

These are not computers on a domain or I would be able to solve this with a security policy.

My thought was to have the program obtain the date/time from an internet server
eg: https://nist.time.gov/actualtime.cgi

Is there a way to do this from HMG?
Or do I need to create some clever batch file to do it?

Hi Russ,

I had a similar problem and solved with a call to a special PHP page on my site, returning date + time.
But one can also unplug from the internet. Perhaps anybody else has a better solution?

In MiniGUI there is a nice program to sync the time with a internet time server.

c:\MiniGUI\SAMPLES\Applications\ATOMIC_TIME
