<sigh> thanks for clearing that up... at least it's only a few hundred workstations - not thousands ;-)
How's that for optimistic!

I've done that and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I am hoping this is something I don't have to do individually on every workstation. This was done on the PDC in user manager/policies. I also added the domain users group to the change time privilege and no dice.

You would have to give the everyone group the change system time permission. This would enable them to change the system time. -----Original Message----- From: Wright, Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 10:57 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: How do you find an NTP Time Server? Thanks for the replies. I installed Tardis and really like it. This is not a critical element, but I wanted to have something setup that will give us mostly accurate server time. I think this will do fine. Now to figure out how to get our NT clients to accept the time sync we have included in their login scripts. They have no privileges and don't have permission to update their clocks. I know there's supposed to be a way around that, just not sure yet. We use net time \\servername /set /yes Steve -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 8:51 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Re: How do you find an NTP Time Server? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wright, Steven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 1:41 PM time.nist.gov Is the official time server of time servers.
