The Domain Time LMCheck test tool lets you assess the current time of
all the Windows machines on your network quickly and easily. It uses the
built-in LAN Manager NetRemote TOD (Time of Day) function to check the time on all the
machines in the browse list.
- Nothing to install -- remote machines only have to be running Windows
- Just run LMCHECK.EXE from any Windows NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista machine
Time variances from the machine on which you run LMCheck are calculated and displayed,
taking into account any network latencies. You may select the domain you wish to scan
from the drop-down list.
A fully synchronized network
The LMCheck tool runs on either Windows NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista 32-bit systems or Windows XP/2003/Vista 64-bit systems, although it can scan any
machine running Microsoft Networking that responds to NetRemoteTOD queries.
Click the Start button to perform the scan. Click the Save Results button to
pull the results up in Notepad so that you may save them wherever you wish.
Note that the variance report generated by LMCheck cannot be as detailed or as accurate as
variance reports provided by the Domain Time II Manager,
the Monitor Service, the
DTCheck utility, or Domain Time II Audit Server,
each of which use much more accurate time protocols and
sampling methods to measure the time differentials. Also, LMCheck cannot measure any systems not
running Microsoft Networking.
Generally, you will want to use LMCheck to obtain a quick snapshot of the time variance on networks
where Domain Time is not yet installed.
Although it is included as part of the licensed Domain Time II Management Tools, LMCheck itself is freeware, and can be downloaded
separately and freely distributed as long as the program is unmodified.
