ShellExecute to pipe "net time"

[ShaunVW]

Good day
Please can someone help me to figure out the command to use?
I currently have

ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', 'net time \\pdc-fs >c:\ProductionDB\servertime.txt',nil,nil,SW_HIDE);

I am getting a return value of 2 though.
What I am wanting to do is get the time from our server and dump it into a file.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

ShellExecute expects the parameters in the 4th parameter
I would try something like

ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', 'net.exe','time \\pdc-fs >c:\ProductionDB\servertime.txt',nil,SW_HIDE);

Thank you.
I now get a return of 42 (which is >32, so apparently successful), but still no file appearing in the folder...?

It seems this might be by design, see https://connect.microsoft.com/Visual...edirected-file

Instead, must use the following, and this works

ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', 'cmd.exe','/C net time \\pdc-fs >c:\ProductionDB\servertime.txt',nil,SW_HIDE);

ok, didn't know that.
Glad it works now and thank you for providing the solution
