Hello and thanks in advance,

I am having troubles getting my NT wkst clients to sync
their time witht he Win 2000 Server, that the users Auth
to. Under the Domain Security and Domain Controlled
Securtiy Policy i have the "Change System Time" marked as
Domain Users (which everyone is part of) and the Wkst will
not sync their time. If i go to the computer and type
this in the command line

net time /set /yes

It tells me that the current time at \\APPS2000 is
(correct time)
and the local system times si (incorrect time)

but then when it tries to set the time i get this message

System Error 1314 has occured

The require system privilage is not held by the client.

Net time aborted.


Thanks again

Toby
 
Hi Toby,

This is occuring because the domain users account doe not have the right to
change the system time locally.

I found a resource kit tool that should do the trick for granting rights
remotely. It's called NTRights and is located in the NT4 resource kit. To
grant domain users rights to change the system time you would type the
following:


ntrights -u <TargetMachineName>\Users +r SeSystemtimePrivilege -m
\\<TagetMachineName>



If you replace TargetMachineName with the name of the target workstation
you will be able to run this remotely. This will grant the local users
group

(which should include Domain Users) the rights to change the system time.

You can then use the Net Time /set functionality in the logon script.
