  I don't think you can change server time from web app. But why do you want to do that?

  I have test environment where I want to test functions of my web app which fires in some time periods (e.g. monthly sending reports). I konow that I can change time in system directly, but it's environment for testers (they had not acces to server).

  I found solution. I used cmd.exe date :) It works fine

  public string NewDateTime { get; set; }
  
  		public void SetServerTime()
  		{
  			ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
  			psi.RedirectStandardInput = true;
  			psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
  			psi.UseShellExecute = false;
  			psi.Arguments = @"/C date " + NewDateTime;
  			Process p = Process.Start(psi);
  		}
