Changing Date/Time in a Windows 2003 Domain

I gave the right to change the date/time of workstations in my domain to non-administrator users, using Start -> Administrative Tools -> Domain Security Policy -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Right Assignment -> Change the System Time (by adding users as well as groups). But, from the work stations I am not able to change the date/time, unless the user is an administrator.
Then I did the same in the Domain Controller Security Policy as well, but in vain.

Please suggest some solutions.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Shafeek

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, it is quite informative.

But, my requirement id different. One of the users in my domain wants to have the right to open the Clock of PC. So, how can we permit a user / group of users (other than administrator and power user) to view the clock in the PC which they are using?

(please note that no need of permission to change the clock. If that is not possible we can give both the rights)

Best regards,
Shafeek

as BFilmFan noted, the server sets the time.

You'll have to disable the PC from receiving time from the server. I don't know if there is a network time setting like the internet time setting for the clock. Disable Windows Time Service or NTP?
