Is there a way to programatically set the computer system time?

[John Shannon]

I need to coordinate my computer system time with an outside device. I am not allowed to change the device time to match my computer, but would like to change my computer to match the device. Is there a way to do this using LabVIEW?

A quick and dirty way could be to create a .bat file and execute it with
the "System exec.vi" (Function palette->Communication).

Use the ms-dos commands date and time.

I think you need administrator rights to do it.
