user cannot set his clock

The ability to change the time on an NT system is a Right that has to be granted through the User Rights Policy in User Manager.

Start User Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - User Manager)
From the Policies menu select User Rights
From the drop down menu select "Change the System Time)
Click the Add button and add any users you wish to perform this
Click OK to exit the dialog
Close User Manager
The user will need to log off and log on again

I have tried the above, unsuccessfuly. I think the problem lies in what groups the user is part of. If that group doen't have change system time permission, the user won't either regardless.

What you can do is set up a local user for the person and follow the above steps on the local user manager.

At the machine the user needs to change the time on, logon loacally and open User Manager and click on policies - user rights. The user rights properties box opens. In the rights field, select change the system time. In the grant to field, click on add and select the user or group. That's it.
