SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the NET TIME command to display the time of a remote computer, the
remote time appears in your computer's time zone. For example, if the time of
the local computer (TEST1) is in Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8:00) and the time
of the remote computer (TEST2) is in Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5:00), the
following appears on TEST1 when you type TIME at the MS-DOS command prompt:

  The current time is: 12:00:00.00

When you type NET TIME \\TEST2, the following appears:

  Current time at \\TEST2 is 11/10/95 12:00 PM
  The command completed successfully.

NOTE: The correct time of the remote computer is displayed when you use Windows
98; Windows 95; Windows for Workgroups 3.11; Microsoft Network Client for
MS-DOS, version 3.0; or LAN Manager 2.2c.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51,
and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
