vb.net - Sincronizar el tiempo de Internet con la computadora

time sync

Question

Así que estoy haciendo un programa que tiene una función de verificación de licencia. Este programa solo se aplica a una cantidad limitada de personas de confianza (por lo que sé que no tratarán de alterarlo)

Lo que quiero hacer es sincronizar el reloj de las computadoras con un horario de Internet (como time.windows.com o lo que sea de confianza) y si el reloj de las computadoras no coincide con las redes internas, cambie el reloj de las computadoras para que coincida.

Sé que hay NTP pero no hay muchos proyectos en VB.NET (solo encontré una fuente pero está rota y mal, intenté arreglarla pero solo perdí tiempo)

Lo que también me preocupa es si puede coincidir con la zona horaria de los usuarios. Estoy tratando de ver si mi programa puede obtener la zona horaria dependiendo de su IP ya que escuché que NTP no es compatible con la Zona Horaria y el horario de verano.

¿Alguna buena forma de encontrar esto?

Recientemente tuve un problema con una batería de rtc baja y tuve que actualizar la fecha y la hora en XP. Primero encontré esta clase:

''Internet Time Server class by Alastair Dallas 01/27/04
''Added a ''ping'' trap to query each server before trying to open the stream.
''This led to greatly improved speed.

'' result = GetNISTTime(host) If My.Computer.Network.Ping(host) Then
'' If result > DateTime.MinValue Then LastHost = host
'' LastHost = host result = GetNISTTime(host)
'' Exit For End If

''Since the ping says the server is active I removed the conditional statement

Luego usé un formulario con un cuadro de texto multilínea y 2 botones, con este código:

Public Class Form1
Dim DateTimeNow As DateTime
Dim Args(1) As String
Private Sub btnGetDateTime_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGetDateTime.Click
DateTimeNow = Daytime.GetTime + DateTimeOffset.Now.Offset
txtDisplayInfo.AppendText(DateTimeNow.ToString + vbNewLine)
End Sub
Private Sub btnSetDateTime_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSetDateTime.Click
Daytime.SetWindowsClock(Daytime.GetTime)
txtDisplayInfo.AppendText(DateTime.Now.ToString + vbNewLine)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs
If Args.Last = "-settime" Then
DateTimeNow = Daytime.GetTime
If DateTimeNow.ToShortDateString <> DateString Then
Daytime.SetWindowsClock(Daytime.GetTime)
End If
Me.Close()
End If
End Sub
End Class

Para ajustar la fecha y la hora de Windows a la actual a través de Internet. Por algún motivo, XP no corregía la fecha y la hora, así que lo necesitaba hasta que pudiera cambiar la batería de rtc. Es posible que puedas usar esto. De acuerdo con los comentarios del autor de la clase que utilicé. Windows ajustará automáticamente la hora de la zona horaria si usa la hora UTC.
