Hi, in our company we have a couple of time-sensitive applications, which read the hour of the day from the PC Clock.
We want to prevent the employees from modifying the Windows clock, but still have the PC automatically sinchronize it with the server's.
Do you know how to do that?

allow the users to have any admin priveledges.
make them work as non priveledged regular users.
oops, not possible, you can't even run office unless you are admin.
You can set up one of your servers as a time server for your corporate LAN. Your time server will get its time from a public time server that is accurate to within a few microseconds.
The main web site for NTP is, you guessed it, ntp.org. However the bulk of useful information, including public NTP servers, is located at this URL.

You will have your corporate time server get its time from a stratum 2 time server. Your time server will be stratum 3. All of your other corporate computers will get their time from your stratum 3 time server.
Good luck.

Here's where to control this on an XP box.
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Local Security Policy
Security Settings
Local Policies
User Rights Assignment
Change the System Time
Add or remove users as desired.
If you are running a 2000 box on an 2000 or 2003 domain, you can use global policies to define this. I don't think there's anywhere to control this on a 9x or stand-alone 2000 box.
