Subject: Setting systems date and time - Windows

Hi Guys,

I am trying to write a script that updates the computers time to our
servers time. On Ubuntu box it works like a charm but cant get it to
work on a Windows box. Here is the code:

def self.get_time
    begin
      response = get("xxxxxxxx", :basic_auth => { :username => "xxxxx",
:password => "xxxxxx"})
      if response.code == 200
    puts response.body
  else
    puts "Couldnt get server time"
  end

    rescue
      puts "Couldn't get Time"
    end
  response.body

  end

  def self.sync
    begin
      time = self.get_time
      system("date -s +%m-%d-%Y +%T -s \"#{time}\"")

    rescue
      puts "Set Error"
    end

  end
end


Output:

2011-11-03 11:35:47
The system cannot accept the date entered.
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy)


Are there alternative methods for setting the systems date and time?

Thanks
