Hi,

I am wondering if it's possible, through the System Policy Editor on the Windows NT 4.0 server, to globally change our domain user privileges for our networked staff that would grant them the ability to update their system clocks?

I am trying to write a logon script that would synchronize all LAN PCs clocks with our server, but I am getting a "System Error 1314... A required privilege is not held by the client." on each client I attempt to connect through the script.

If possible, detailed instructions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

There is one fast way that you can do in seconds that does not require poledit.
Open User Manager for Domains.
Click Policies -> User Rights
In the Rights drop-down box, click it and select Change The System Time.
In the lower Grant To box, you will probably only see Administrators and Server Operators come up.
Click the Add button, and select Domain Users.
Click OK.

That's it. Now, any Domain User can change their system clock.

I have already proceeded with the User Rights addition thru User Manager as suggested, but still no one within our domain is granted the neccessary privileges. Is there anything ELSE I could check?

You can do it locally if you don't have a ton of workstations. Go to usermgr, polocies, user rights. Check the show advanced user rights. In the drop down box click change system time and add everyone to the grant to box.

If you have a lot of PC's and need to perform local admin tasks check this app out. You could always just download the demo and set your privs. but it is a really usefull admin tool to own and only costs $199.00.

Or you can check out the Time Service located on the NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit.
