"net time" returns system error 5, "Access is denied", even when run as administrator
- by Andrew Grant
I am trying to run net time on a Windows 7 box with an account that is part of the Administrators group.
When I run the command net time from an elevated command prompt I get the following error:
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
Why is this happening?
I've looked at this Microsoft Knowledge Base article and have gone through the steps.
Both the computer and the DC are connected to the same NTP server and I've verified they're synced
I'm working on a local account so there should be no permissions issues
There is no local firewall running
