Either of these commands does work. But if I'm not totally blind there isn't any time or date output.
Are these performance counter translated
At least these object names are not translated for me.

Not from that specific LOGMAN option. I was just trying to find out if the GUID's are the same. Then we could use a different LOGMAN option using that GUID to get the date time output. Just wanted to know if the GUID's are the same for everyone regardless of language.

same here though very few thing are localized on bulgarian versions of windows.And how this can be used with typeperf
I think network abbreviations are not translated even on japanese Windowses based on what searched on google.
UDPv4 prints the less information and on my machine delay is around 1 sec (with about half a second if put |Findstr in the for definition I think with IF condition it is faster)
The problem is that on windows XP there's only one UDP protocol called UDP (no UDP version 6) so I've tried to made the fastest possible check - through environment variable:
Code: Select all
@echo off
setlocal
::check if windows is XP
if defined USERDOMAIN_roamingprofile (set "v=v4") else (set "v=")
set "mon="
for /f "skip=2 delims=," %%# in ('typeperf "\UDP%v%\*" -si 0 -sc 1') do (
if not defined mon (
for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=.:/ " %%a in (%%#) do (
set mon=%%a
set date=%%b
set year=%%c
set hour=%%d
set minute=%%e
set sec=%%f
set ms=%%g
)
)
)
echo %year%%mon%%date%
echo %hour%%minute%%sec%%ms%
endlocal

I searched through this thread and I don't see anyone asking about the NET TIME command. I would assume this is regional dependent as well.
Code: Select all

I think I have not seen this used in this topic.
Code: Select all
set "year="
for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/: " %%a in ('robocopy "|" . /njh') do if not defined year (
set "year=%%a" & set "month=%%b" & set "day=%%c"
set "hour=%%d" & set "min=%%e" & set "sec=%%f"
)
echo %year%/%month%/%day% %hour%:%min%:%sec%
The basic idea is to force an error in the robocopy command and parse the date and time of the error in the output.

viewtopic.php?p=29762#p29762Robocopy is not native to XP. You also can just use ROBOCOPY. You don't need to force any error to it.

Also, for me, with a limited user without rights over the root of the drive, the indicated command fails.

Yes, I know. Included here just for completion as I saw robocopy used in other posts.

Forcing the error we get date/time in yyyy/mm/dd hh:nn:ss format without even hitting the file system.

The basic idea is to force an error in the robocopy command and parse the date and time of the error in the output.
This is clever and fast , though the info header with day of the week is missing (one of good features of robocopy).
Output is always like:
2015/10/24 01:35:53 ERROR 123 (0x0000007B) Accessing Source Directory C:\Users\..
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
So the first part does not depend on the language.

For a locale independed we can use
Code: Select all
set "year="
for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/: " %%a in ('robocopy "|" . /njh') do if not defined year (
set "year=%%a" & set "month=%%b" & set "day=%%c"
set "hour=%%d" & set "min=%%e" & set "sec=%%f"
rem Zeller's congruence : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeller's_congruence
if %%b lss 3 (set /a "y=%%a-1") else (set "y=%%a")
set /a "dow=((1%%c %% 100)+(13*((((1%%b %% 100)+9) %% 12 + 3)+1)/5)+(y %% 100)+(y %% 100)/4+(y/100)/4-2*(y/100)) %% 7"
rem Day correction from Zeller's output (0-Sat to 6-Fri) to ISO-8601 (1-Mon to 7-Sun)
set /a "dow=(dow+5)%%7+1"
)
echo %year%/%month%/%day% %hour%:%min%:%sec% %dow%
: I forgot to include the correction for the initial zeros in day and month and the year correction. Now corrected

I only looked at the :GetDate function, and it is definitely NOT locale agnostic. It is highly dependent on the language specific abbreviations used for year, month and day.
Way back when I attempted to provide a platform for handling multiple languages based on that technique:

Did we ever discuss the WHERE command with the /T option. Is it region independent?
Code: Select all
C:\Users\Squashman>where /T cmd.exe

I'd be willing to bet a tidy sum that WHERE /T date/time format is locale dependent.
