Windows

Are you wanting to have each PC set to a different time, or are you simply wanting all PC's to be set to the same exact time?

If it is the latter, then it would be easy to set the workstation clock with a logon script.

The script should be like this....
net time \\<domainserver> /set /y

Each time that a user logs in, the clock will be synchronized with that server.

If you are wanting to accomplish the first idea (see above) then I do not have an immediate suggestion.

Best of luck

I think you have no option but to change this user right on each machine. However this can be automated to a certain degree.

Check-out the Win2K or NT4 Supplement 2 resource kits for the ntrights.exe command. You can grant your domain users theright to 'change system time' on each machine via a batch file. Of course, whoever runs this batch file must have admin rights to each PC. Below are some links to get you started: (remove any spaces that get inserted into the URLs)

SampleBatchFile.bat -
ntrights +r SeSystemtimePrivilege -u DOMAIN\Users -m \\MACHINE1
ntrights +r SeSystemtimePrivilege -u DOMAIN\Users -m \\MACHINE2
etc....

Another option that might be easier from Advanced Software Logic, inc. They sell a GUI utility called "Local User Rights Tool" to change local user rights assignments.

"too much work going machine to machine to change"
You tried in UserManager to change the domain to \\ComputerName, and give the necessary rights from your machine?

Hey,

We added this line to our login script.

ntrights +r SeSystemtimePrivilege -u users

Have not changed anyones right to admin and they can change time. Never had much luck on NT4 setting this through GP or User Manager.

Thanx

I would think it best if you sync'd the workstation clocks with that of the PDC and not only should the workstations be sync but any other member servers should be also. This can be done by adding the following line to your log in script substituting the "SERVER_NAME" for the name of the server you want to sync time with:

NET TIME \\SERVER_NAME /set /yes

The reason you would want all the workstations and member servers in 'time sync' is to prevent file locks based upon file mod/access times.
