5796.0. "Can't change time" by ALFSS2::WHITTINGTON (Where is my Starbuck) Wed Mar 12 1997 13:30

    I have a customer who is having a problem I can't reproduce. His users
    can't change time or date.
    He is running NT 4.0 SSP2 on NT Server and NT Workstations.
    They belong to group- Domain User, which under Policies the Grant to is
    Domain User. Now I created a dummy account under group Domain User,
    with no priv's and I am able to change time or date. His users (and it
    is all of them except Administrator) when they try from the task bar get 
    "can't set time. Change proper priv to grant time". If they try from
    the control panel they don't even get the calandar or clock.  If they do 
    it from the DOS prompt they get a required priviledge is not held by the 
    user. What priv needs to be set here?

    Ed, there's a user rights policy called "change system time" which on
    my systems defalts to [administrators, power users].

    Hi bill,
    
    We looked at that right. This is what brought up the question from the
    customer. They thought all they had to do was add their group'Domain
    User' to this right and they would have it. Apparently not.....
    
    Thanks
