   That is because your local SYSTEM account is configured for US locale.   
      
   The NET TIME command is served by the Server service, which is running   
   under the local SYSTEM account.

   The issue of different locales around the world is a spectacular can   
   of worms. Making a batch file that works with every possible   
   combination of language and locale is a LOT more difficult that making   
   it work on your own computer only.   
      
   In addition to the multitude for formats for date and time, the   
   response text from the NET command is translated to the language of   
   the Windows GUI. On a Norwegian Windows, it looks like this:   
      
   ---   
   C:\test>net time \\localhost   
   Gjeldende tid på \\localhost er 07.11.2020 14:35:17   
      
   Kommandoen er fullført.   
   ---   
      
   I can't imagine a way to make this universal.
