The LocalTime property identifies the current date and time for the referenced target server.

HRESULT GetLocalTime(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 multiserver administration can be configured to administer servers installed throughout the world. The possibility for job scheduling conflicts or errors can arise.
For example, a job created on June 1, 1998 for single execution on that date, by a master server in Seattle could never execute on a server enlisted from Japan. The Japanese target server, having a local date of June 2, will ignore the job as its defined execution date has passed.
Querying the LocalTime property, and using the TimeZoneAdjustment property in scheduling, can help avoid these potential errors.
