If you have a server hosting user profiles or home directories, you can check the output of NET SESSION from its console – this will give you the list of all computers and users connected to it.
Or NET SESSION > c:\sessions.txt to save this info to a text file.
Run these commands from a command prompt:
Stop the time service
net stop w32time
Set the manual peer list external servers
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:”0.us.pool.ntp.org,1.us.pool.ntp.org,2.us.pool.ntp.org,3.us.pool.ntp.org”
Set the connection as reliable
w32tm /config /reliable:yes
Start the time service back up
net start w32time
Test the configururation
w32tm /query /configuration
Once you click OK, Excel will show the emails that don’t have either the @ sign or a period. These are the problem records. You can either delete them or try to make corrections. The rules aren’t perfect as you may still get some incorrect ones slip through such as anne.h@examplecom. In this example, both the period and “at sign” are present, but it is still invalid since a second period is needed between example and com.
After doing this exercise, I did see some other patterns. For example, some people would type some combination of “do not send email”. This tends to happen if the input form doesn’t do field validation. Other times, the reverse would happen where people used “shift 2” or [at] instead of the “@ sign”. This is a tactic some people use online to prevent email bots from scraping their address.
