How to set system time in Windows 10 IoT?

Question

Is there a way to set system time from my app running on a Raspberry Pi 2 in Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview?

This doesn\'t work for lack of kernel32.dll

Use Renci SSH shell to sign back into the device as an administrator and then use powershell command to set date and time.

public static int SshCommand(string command, out string dataOut, out string error)
    {

        dataOut = "";
        error = "";

        try
        {

            using (var client = new SshClient("127.0.0.1", USER_NAME, PASSWORD))
            {
                client.Connect();
                //command = "powershell -Command " + "\u0022" + "set-date -date '8/10/2017 8:30:00 AM'" + "\u0022";
                //command = "netsh interface ip show config";
                var cmd = client.RunCommand(command);
                var output = cmd.Result;
                client.Disconnect();
            }

            return 1;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            error = ex.Message;
            return 0;
        }

    }


public static int SSHSetDateTime(DateTime dateTime)
    {

        // Variables
        int returnValue = 0;
        string command;
        string error;
        string dataOut;

        // Build date
        command = String.Format("powershell -Command \u0022set-date -date '{0:M/d/yyyy H:mm:ss tt}'\u0022", dateTime);

        //Build date
        if (SystemEx.SshCommand(command, out dataOut, out error) == 1)
        {
            // Ok
            returnValue = 1;
        }

        // Return
        return returnValue;

    }
