    Hi all,

     

    Seems to be the cleanest way to resolve my problem ! Thank you !

    I'm on windows 10.

    I already have a clue for preventing the PC resetting the date. For this key :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters

    I set "Type" to "NoSync".

    Thus the domain controller leave my machine alone.

        What we did is, before we changed the time, we captured the current date and time (using the "Get" method) and stored it in a variable.  Then, we just used that as part of the next "Set" statement to restore.
