Hi all,

In my environmental test networking I have just created a new OU, named TrialOU; I would like that Users belonging to this OU, to be enabled to change the system time as a result I created a brand new Policy at the TrialOU level as follows;
Computer Configuration
+ Windows Settings
+ Security Settings
+ Local Policies
+ User Rights
- CHANGE THE TYME SYSTEM (adding the Users contained in the TrialOU)

Unfortunately when I logon in another computer as a user of TrialOU I always get a message stating the I have no rights to change the system time. I launched the secedit command for refreshing the policy, restarting the server but nothing changed; I have also checked whether this policy might be overrided, disabled or blocked by others policies but everything seems to be Ok;
do you know what I should do to enable users in the above OU to change the system time?

Thanks in advance
Leonardo
 
That setting applies to a computer and not to a user. It takes users and groups as part of the setting. The GPO needs to be applied to an OU that has the computers in it.
 
Also remember to set policy rollback to merge otherwise you might fins the computer policy does not take effect (that is if you have a contrary policy elsewhere for the user).
 
Also the GPO that is first in the Group Policy Links window is the first that is applied and will override the lower GPOs R. Henson CCNA,CCAI,MCP
