Hi, may I ask the difference between echo time and net time? Is the time returned using "echo time" a local PC time and whereas "net time" is server time?
I have tried search from the Internet but I can't seem to find the answer I want.
Any input is appreciated.
Thank you.

echo time does not return the actual date & time, it returns

time

echo %time% returns the actual time of the local PC.

net time returns the local time of the synchronization server configured for the PC, if any; it returns an error if no synchronization server is configured.
