Batch - Get time from remote server write to csv audit log
Purpose: needed a hacked up batch file that was able to read time from a remote server and log to a CSV for user logon auditing. They may have been a better way to do this in batch, but after about 5 hours of looking i decided to just write my own. Wish i could have used powershell. Note:I found that using the net time //x.x.x.x command against a server can return different formatted results I think this script is able to handle the differences but i can not be certain without further testing
