#32100 - 2002-11-08 10:04 PM user privilege on NT 4.0 to set time
allbymyself allbymyself Just in Town Registered: 2002-11-08 Posts: 2	I am trying to write a logon script that will set the time on a NT 4.0 workstation. The users are not local admin, therefore they have no rights to change the time (which is the way we want it). I have composed the script as follows (based on other postings here): if exist %WINDIR%\nettime.exe goto set_rights copy "%0\..\nettime.exe" "%WINDIR%" copy "%0\..\rtzone.exe" "%WINDIR%" :set_rights %0\..\ntrights +r SeSystemtimePrivilege -u Users NET TIME %LOGONSERVER% /SET /Y %0\..\ntrights -r SeSystemtimePrivilege -u Users goto Final :Final When I run this as a regular user, I get the following errors: *Error* OpenPolicy -1073741790 (when it tries to grant the permissions). After the Net time command executes I get the message System error 1314 has occurred. A required privilege is not held by the client. What do I need to do to correct this?

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	what you need to do, is stop playing with net time, and make yourself an admin script to PUSH nettime.exe out, configure it, and let it control setting the time. This will be an administrative script, run by you, and then the user privs will not matter. _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Make a computer primary time server, some others secondary, and point the Windows 2000/XP computers to any of the secondary time servers. It's a very straight-forward thing and even documented at Microsofts website. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Power users can change time so if you really want to use a Kix script you could add each user to their local Power Users group then shell/run 'net time /DOMAIN:domainname /set' will work ok, or just use the Kix command 'settime'.

Microsoft has an excellent white paper about installation of the Windows Time Service in NT4 and AD domains. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
